Gateway to Manas

Overview

Tamulpur, the newest district of Assam (formed in 2022), serves as an important gateway to Manas National Park and represents the heart of Bodo culture in the region. The area is characterized by lush rice fields, traditional Bodo villages, and proximity to some of Bodoland's most significant wildlife areas. The district is known for its scenic beauty with the Himalayan foothills visible on clear days. Traditional Bodo villages in Tamulpur offer authentic cultural experiences, from weaving demonstrations to traditional cuisine. The area hosts several important Bodo festivals and is known for preserving traditional practices. As a gateway to Manas, Tamulpur offers various accommodation options and serves as a base for visitors planning wildlife safaris.
