History Of Ledo
Tinsukia, Assam, India
Sub Place Details: Ledo is a small but historically significant town in the Tinsukia district, famous for being the easternmost point of the Indian Railways network. For many years, it held the title of the "Last Station of the East." Like its neighbor Lekhapani, Ledo is inseparable from the history of World War II. It served as the primary logistics hub for the Allied forces’ Burma Campaign. The town is the actual birthplace of the Ledo Road (Stilwell Road), where General Joseph Stilwell oversaw the beginning of the monumental project to bypass the Japanese-occupied Burma Road. Today, Ledo is also known for its rich coal deposits and the Ledo Colliery, which was one of the earliest coal mines in India. The town has a rugged, industrial charm with old steam-era infrastructure still visible in parts of the railway yard. The landscape is a mix of coal mine scars, lush tea gardens, and the rising foothills of the Patkai Range. For travelers, Ledo is the jumping-off point for more adventurous journeys into Arunachal Pradesh and toward the Pangsau Pass on the Myanmar border. The town’s culture is a fascinating blend of Assamese, Bengali, and various tribal communities like the Singpho and Tangsa. Visiting Ledo feels like standing on the edge of the frontier. The sight of coal-laden trucks and local trains creates an atmosphere of a town that has been working hard for over a century. It is also a place where you can find unique Singpho architecture and traditional rice-based cuisine. The nearby Tikak Colliery offers a panoramic view of the entire valley, which is a favorite for visitors. Ledo remains a symbol of resilience, both for its wartime role and its continued importance as an energy hub for the nation. :
