9. Hazara Pukhuri: A Pond with a Past

Spanning 70 acres, Hazara Pukhuri is the largest pond in Tezpur. But more than its size, it’s the history that intrigues me. The pond is believed to have been dug during the reign of King Harjjar Varman.

Poetic Pause : The calm waters, lotus blooms, and the reflection of twilight skies make for a poetic setting.

10. Da-Parbatia Temple Gate: Artistry in Stone

Arguably the oldest and finest representation of sculptural art in Assam , the Da-Parbatia temple gate is a window to ancient craftsmanship. The doorjambs dating back to the 5th century AD are adorned with intricate carvings of deities.

Tezpur Tourism And Travel Guide

One of the most beautiful towns in North East India , Tezpur has exquisitely partnered itself with the urban community of mankind and nature’s scenic sights. A fast developing city, Tezpur is called Assam ’s cultural capital and happens to be one of the most favored tourist spots in the state as well. Owing to its gorgeous hillocks, gardens and parks, its rich cultural heritage and excellent accommodation option, the city is no less of the core of Assam. Here’s a travel guide to help you find your way around as regards Tezpur tourism.

How to Reach

Tezpur’s local/domestic airport is the Salonibari Airport, about 10 km from the city center, which has flight operations from Silchar and Kolkata with Air India and the closest international airport to the city is the Lokpriya Gopinath Bodoloi International Airport, Guwahati , which is well connected to all of India’s major metros and is roughly 165 km from the city. From Delhi the best way to reach Tezpur is to fly to the city at an estimated cost of INR 7,000 in 6 hours and 40 minutes via Indigo, Air Asia or Vistara Airlines.

Accessible by most Indian cities, train travel to Tezpur from New Delhi begins at the Anand Vihar Terminal, where you can board a train to Rangapara North (twice a week) and reach there in approximately 34 hours. From Rangapara North the travel distance by road in a taxi is roughly 28km and less than 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can travel by bus from Delhi to Gorakhpur in about 11 ½ hours and then make the train ride of 22 ½ hours to Rangapara North from Gorakhpur, with the onward journey in a taxi to Tezpur.

To travel by road, the best option would be to board a bus from New Delhi to Gorakhpur and then make the train journey to Rangapara North. From the Super Bazar in Delhi to Anand Vihar ISBT there’s a bus every 10 minutes. On reaching there, you can walk it down to the Kausambi Bus Station and board a bus to Gorakhpur which leaves 4 times a day and takes about 11 hours and 30 minutes. However, comparatively, this alternative is quite exhausting and is hence best left out.

Getting Around:

Being a popular tourist spot, Assam is always filled with tourists from far and wide through a large part of the year, thanks to its inviting weather conditions. This makes public transport options in the city quite accessible. With a mix of both state-run and private buses, you will find getting around the city very easy and comfortable, in addition to the cycle rickshaws and autos available to cover short distances or taxi for longer distances.

• How To Reach Tezpur

Weather and Best Time to Visit

The pleasant weather of Tezpur, given its proximity to the snow-clad Himalayas and tea greenhouses, makes it climate-friendly and welcoming for most travelers to this part of the world. The best time to visit Tezpur would be when you can enjoy the city the most, the weather’s favorable and there are ample activities to indulge in.

Spring (March-May):

March through May is typically affected by thunderstorms and flash rains in Tezpur with a humidity level of 81%. May being the most affected with the humidity levels, cotton clothes are best for travel wear. The average day temperature during spring in the city is 31°C with the minimum being 22°C.

Summer (June-August):

June through August are summer in Tezpur but usually, the season starts here in April. With a mild summer, when the temperature ranges between 24°C-35°C, the climate’s relatively warm and good to experience tourism in the city, with May being the hottest time of the year followed by June.

Monsoon (September-November):

With an abundant and unpredictable spell of rainfall from September through November, it gets a bit challenging to ascertain the weather conditions in the city and firm up any travel plans. Because of the South West Monsoons, there’s a heavy downpour and despite the lush greenery that encompasses the entire town, the torrential rains make it difficult to enjoy the city’s sights.

Winter (December-February):

Winters are usually an opportune time to enjoy moving around the city, when the temperatures range between 12°C-31°C and humidity level is at 80%, making it just about right to go and explore things to do. January’s ideal for outdoor activities with a high flux of incoming tourist traffic, while February is nice and hot with the minimum temperature being 10°C and highest being 22°C.
