🛢️ Important: Tinsukia is located in the easternmost part of Assam, known for India's first oil refinery at Digboi and the pristine Dibru-Saikhowa National Park. This is one of the longest routes in Upper Assam (480 km), taking approximately 9-10 hours. We strongly recommend early morning departures (5-6 AM) and SUV vehicles for maximum comfort on this long-distance journey.
Tinsukia is an important town in Upper Assam, serving as the gateway to India's oil heritage and some of the region's most pristine natural attractions. The district is famous for being home to Digboi, where India's first oil well was drilled in 1889, and for its vast tea estates that produce some of the finest Assam tea.
Located near the confluence of the Dibru and Brahmaputra rivers, Tinsukia offers a unique blend of industrial heritage, natural beauty, and wildlife. The town serves as the base for exploring Dibru-Saikhowa National Park (home to wild horses and white-winged wood ducks), the historic oil town of Digboi, and the remote riverside town of Sadiya at the confluence of three rivers.
