2 Days in Dhubri for a Nature Trip
Dhubri is a hidden gem in Assam where the Brahmaputra River meets lush greenery. I love how peaceful it feels here, far from the crowds. The river views, local wildlife, and quiet countryside walks make it perfect for a short nature getaway. It's the kind of place where you can slow down and really enjoy the simple beauty of Assam.

Day 1
Day 1 in Dhubri
A day soaking in the natural beauty and cultural charm of Dhubri, starting with its iconic riverfront and ending with a serene sunset by the Brahmaputra.
Activities
Gurdwara Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib
Begin your day at this historic Sikh shrine, perched on the banks of the Brahmaputra. The white marble structure and peaceful atmosphere make it a perfect morning stop. Don’t miss the langar (community kitchen) if you’re curious about Sikh traditions.
- Dress modestly (cover head with a scarf for entry)
- Try the sweet karah prasad offered at the shrine
Brahmaputra Riverfront Walk
Stroll along the banks of the Brahmaputra, where the river’s vastness feels almost oceanic. Watch local fishermen cast their nets and spot river dolphins if you’re lucky. The ghats (steps) are lively with tea stalls—grab a cup of Assam chai and soak in the views.
- Wear comfortable shoes—the ghats can be uneven
- Monsoon (June-Sept) brings high water levels; check safety
Panbari Reserve Forest
A short drive from town, this lush forest is a haven for birdwatchers and nature lovers. Keep an eye out for hornbills, otters, and even wild elephants. The dense foliage and quiet trails feel worlds away from the riverfront bustle.
- Hire a local guide (₹300-500) to spot hidden wildlife
- Carry mosquito repellent and water

Day 2
Dhubri Nature & Culture Day
A mix of serene nature spots and local cultural experiences, wrapping up your time in Dhubri with its quieter charms.
Activities
Morning at Chakrasila Wildlife Sanctuary
Head to this lesser-known but beautiful sanctuary, home to the rare golden langur and a variety of birdlife. The morning light through the dense forest makes for peaceful walks. The sanctuary has a small watchtower offering views over the treetops.
- Carry binoculars for birdwatching
- Wear muted colors to blend in
Local Village Walk & Silk Weaving Demo
Visit a nearby Mishing tribal village to see traditional Assamese silk weaving (especially the famous 'endi' silk). Watch artisans work on handlooms and maybe try your hand at it. The villagers often welcome visitors with a cup of 'sulai' (local rice beer) if you're interested.
- Ask before photographing people
- Small notes (INR 10-20) handy for any purchases
Sunset at Dhubri's Old Ferry Ghat
Wrap up your day where locals gather to watch the Brahmaputra change colors. Different from the riverfront walk you did earlier, this spot has old wooden boats and a more rustic vibe. Tea stalls sell 'sokha biscuit' (local crispy cookies) perfect with Assam chai.
- Wear sturdy shoes - the ghat steps are uneven
- Try the 'bor pitha' (rice cakes) from nearby vendors
