Famous for the folk love story of princess Usha and Aniruddha, Tezpur in Assam is steeped in tales of valour and romance. Apart from its vast stretches of tea gardens, it is also a pilgrimage destination with shrines like Mahabhairav Temple. The historical lineage of Tezpur is preserved in several ruins, two of which are Da-Parbatiya Gate and Bamuni Hills. Visitors can also take a day-long excursion to Bhalukpong (around 60 km) to enjoy the enchanting view of lush green hills.
