Golaghat is a district in the state of Assam, in northeastern India. It is a place of tea gardens, wildlife sanctuaries and open countryside, and for many travellers it serves as a gateway to Kaziranga National Park.
What the district offers
- Tea gardens, which give much of the district its character and its working landscape.
- Wildlife sanctuaries, a reminder that the region is closely tied to forest and grassland habitats.
- Access to Kaziranga National Park, which makes Golaghat a practical base for visitors heading into that area.
Planning a visit
Golaghat suits visitors interested in nature and rural Assam rather than in large urban sights. Its main draw is the surrounding countryside: walking or driving through tea estates, spending time near the sanctuaries, and using the district as a stopping point on the way to Kaziranga. Those who want to see the wider region will find it a useful place to plan the rest of their journey around.
