Assam Hills

城市概覽

The Hills are known for its breathtaking natural beauty. A trip to the region, while rewarding, is somewhat adventurous. While the isolation of the Hills has helped preserve the tribal practices, it also means a lack of development. The Hills consists of two hilly areas, each with their own tribes:

Dima Hasao (North Cachar Hills) — inhabited by the Dimasa tribe. The Dimasa people have a long history in the hills, which were the heartland of their ancient kingdom. The region also has villages of Zemi Naga, Hrangkhol, Hmar, Kuki, and Biate tribal people. Each group has unique traditions and a proud culture. Karbi Anglong (Mikir Hills) — inhabited by the Karbi tribe

當地交通

Three-wheeled taxis are ubiquitous in the towns: always make sure of your destination and fare before getting in. Inter-town transport is available in buses and large all-terrain vehicles that often carry ten or more passengers in a quite crowded cab.

必看景點

Go to the very top of the hill in Haflong for a marvellous view of the Borail Range to the west of the town. Wander down from there into the market to see what might be available. Go to the Circuit House for a view of the Jatinga River. East of the main road is Haflong Lake.

體驗活動

Hiking through the countryside would prove a treat for nature lovers. It would be unwise to do this without a local guide.

飲品與夜生活

The Dimasa are proud of their traditional dju, a rice beer.
