Things to do

If you are visiting Manas National Park you can always plan a trip to Bongaigaon, which is 82 km away. You can stay for a night at Bongaigaon and visit the prominent places of tourist interest the next day. If you have a packed schedule, you can leave for Guwahati in the afternoon as it is only a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Bongaigaon.

A visit to Kakoijana Wildlife Sanctuary and seeing the rare golden langur would be an unforgettable experience. If lucky enough, a beautiful click of the primates will be ice on the cake. A hike to Nakkati Hills, which many tourists from the United States of America and neighbouring nations compare to McAfee Knob in the USA, who have visited this place due to its resemblance to the latter, will leave you awestruck if you are an adventure seeker. A trip to Koyakujia Beel will fascinate you with its abundance of flora and fauna. During the winter, migratory birds flock to this lake, making it a bird watcher's paradise. Bagheswari Temple, one of the oldest Shakti Peeth dating its origin back to 10th-11th century is about five kilometres from the town. This brief sojourn with Bongaigaon will not leave you disappointed for sure. It will probably be your first experience of experiential tourism along with conventional tourism which will be the essence of travel in the days ahead.
