How To Reach Da-Parbatia Gate

By Air (Flights): The nearest airport is Tezpur Airport (also known as Salonibari Airport, IATA: TEZ), which is approximately 10 KMs away from the main city and around 15-20 KMs from the Da-Parbatia Ruins. This airport has limited domestic flight connectivity, primarily to cities like Kolkata and Guwahati. The major international and most connected airport is Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport in Guwahati (GAU), which is about 180 KMs from Tezpur. From either airport, you would need to hire a pre-paid taxi or take a shared cab/bus to reach the main Tezpur town and then use local transport.

By Train (Rail): Tezpur is served by a few railway stations. The closest major station for express trains is Rangapara North Railway Station (RPAN), located about 25 KMs away. A closer, though smaller, station is Dekargaon Railway Station (DKGN), which is about 10 KMs from the main town. Both stations connect Tezpur to major cities, especially through Guwahati Railway Station. From the railway stations, travelers can easily hire auto-rickshaws or taxis to reach the Da-Parbatia Ruins.

By Road (Bus and Private Vehicle): Tezpur is exceptionally well-connected by road to the rest of Assam and the Northeast. National Highway 15 (NH 15) and others provide good road access. State-run and private buses (known as 'Astc' and others) run frequently between Tezpur and major cities like Guwahati (approx. 4-5 hours), Jorhat, and Itanagar. The Da-Parbatia Ruins are located just a few kilometers off the main highway, easily accessible by a short diversion.

By Local Transport (Local Travel): Once in Tezpur town, reaching the ruins is simple. The most convenient local transport options are hiring an auto-rickshaw (or 'tempos') for a direct trip, or utilizing local taxis and shared mini-vans (called 'shuttle cars'). Negotiating the fare with the auto-rickshaw driver is advisable before starting the journey. The ruins are well-known locally, making directions easy.
