What to pack
During the winter (December-January), pack warm clothing like sweaters, jackets, and shawls, as temperatures can drop. For the spring months (March-April), lightweight cotton clothing is suitable. If visiting during the monsoon (May-September), carry rain gear like umbrellas and raincoats, as well as waterproof bags to protect electronics. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for exploring tea gardens and other attractions. Mosquito repellent is a must, especially during the rainy season. Dress modestly when visiting religious sites; women may want to carry a scarf.
Saving money
Flights and hotels are typically cheapest during the monsoon season (May-September), with potential savings of 20-30%. Consider staying in guesthouses or homestays in areas like Graham Bazaar or near the Mancotta Tea Estate for budget-friendly accommodation. Local buses and auto-rickshaws are affordable ways to get around. Street food offers tasty and inexpensive meal options. Booking flights and accommodation 4-6 weeks in advance can often lead to better deals. Dibrugarh Airport (DIB) is the nearest airport.
