How To Reach District Museum

By Air: The nearest major airport to Diphu is Dimapur Airport (DMU) in Nagaland, which is approximately 70-80 KMS away. This airport is well-connected to major Indian cities like Kolkata and Guwahati. From Dimapur Airport, you can hire a pre-paid taxi or a private cab to reach Diphu. The drive takes about 2 to 3 hours. Guwahati's Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (GAU) is an alternative but is much farther, around 250 KMS. From Diphu city centre, the museum is easily reachable by a short drive.

By Train: Diphu Railway Station (DPU) is well-connected and situated on the main rail line that runs through Assam. It has regular services from major cities like Guwahati, Kolkata, New Delhi, and Chennai. Once you arrive at Diphu Railway Station, the museum is located only a short distance away—around 2 KMS—and is easily accessible.

By Road: Diphu is the district headquarters and is well-connected by road networks within Assam and to neighbouring states. National Highway NH 329 passes near the town. State-run buses (Assam State Transport Corporation - ASTC) and private bus operators run services connecting Diphu to nearby cities like Guwahati, Nagaon, and Dimapur. From the main Diphu bus stand, you can take a local transport option to the museum.

By Local Transport: Since the District Museum is situated only about 2 KMS from the central area of Diphu, the best local options are auto-rickshaws (locally called 'autos' or 'tempos') and cycle rickshaws for the shortest distance. Auto-rickshaws are a quicker and more comfortable choice, and their fares should be agreed upon before starting the journey. For a short, inexpensive ride, a cycle rickshaw is also an option. Many parts of Diphu are walkable, so a 15-20 minute walk from the city centre to the museum is also feasible for fit travellers.
