Dibrugarh
 

Dibrugarh land is the headquarters of Dibrugarh district, Assam, India. It is the second largest city in assam after guwahati.

Dibrugarh is situated on the banks of the Brahmaputra River, in Upper Assam, India, is the gateway to the three tea producing districts of Tinsukia, Dibrugarh, and Sibsagar. These three areas account for approximately 50% of India's Assam tea crop and this gives Dibrugarh its rightly earned sobriquet as the Tea City of India. Oil and Timber are the other big two industries in and around Dibrugarh.

In 1950, the Medog earthquake measuring over 8.6 on the Richter Scale, changed the course of the Brahmaputra River, and this caused the destruction of more than 3/4ths of the city. The city has since then been rebuilt over the years, but the Brahmaputra River nearby is, as it always has been, a constant reminder to its people that live in its shadow, of its turbulence and all encompassing journey to the sea.

Sightseeing

Namdapha National Park, which is 160 km from Dibrugarh, spread over 1,985 sq km, is the largest national park of Arunachal Pradesh and one of the largest wildlife protected area in India. Namdapha is also known as a Botanist?s dream. It's a bird sanctuary as well as a Tiger reserve. You can find four big cats here: tiger, leopard, clouded leopard, and snow leopard. You can also see the rare white-winged wood duck and hoolock gibbon here.

History buffs can explore the four airfields, which were used by the British against Japanese forces in Myanmar during World II in the Dibrugarh area.

Dibrugarh is surrounded by tea plantations and has tea factories and rice and oilseed mills. You can take an interesting tour of the tea gardens which are located in and around the town. There are a large number of tea estates along NH-37 which can be explored along a picturesque road route. The mighty river Brahmaputra is at its majestic best here; a cruise down the river is highly recommended.
