City Guide

October to March for cooler, dry weather and local festivals.

Try local Assamese cuisine at street stalls and visit early morning markets for fresh produce. Cash is preferred in most places.

Dress modestly, especially when visiting temples. Tipping is optional but appreciated in restaurants and for services. Respect local customs and ask before taking photos of people.

Nazira is generally safe, but avoid isolated areas near the river after dark. Be cautious of petty theft in crowded markets and always negotiate taxi fares beforehand.

Take a walk in the tea gardens around the town, visit the historic ONGC colony for old-world charm, and explore the lesser-known temples just outside the town centre.
