How To Reach Ouguri Hill

By Air: The nearest airport is Tezpur’s Salonibari Airport (TEZ), located approximately 17 km from the city center. This airport has limited connectivity, primarily with Kolkata and sometimes Guwahati. From the airport, one can hire a pre-paid taxi or a local cab. The journey to Ouguri Hill will take about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on traffic. Alternatively, the nearest major international airport is Guwahati’s Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (GAU), which is about 200 km away. From Guwahati, one can take a direct bus, hire a private car to Tezpur, or take a connecting flight to TEZ.

By Train: The nearest major railway station is Dekargaon Railway Station (DKGN), approximately 10 km from the city center. Tezpur also has a smaller station, Tezpur Railway Station (TZTB), though many major trains prefer DKGN. The nearest well-connected railway junction is Rangiya Junction (RNY) or Guwahati Railway Station (GHY). From the station, you can easily hire an auto-rickshaw or a local taxi to reach Ouguri Hill.

By Road: Tezpur is very well-connected by road via National Highway NH 15 (formerly NH 52). Regular bus services (ASTC and private operators) are available from major cities in Assam like Guwahati (4-5 hours), Jorhat, and Dibrugarh. The hill is accessible via a short diversion from the main roads leading through the town. If driving a private car, the area has reasonable road access, though the final approach may involve local roads.

By Local Transport: Once in Tezpur city, reaching Ouguri Hill is easiest via a local auto-rickshaw or a hired local taxi. The hill is a well-known landmark, so mentioning it by name is usually sufficient. For a more budget-friendly option, one can take a shared auto-rickshaw to the nearest main road and then walk the short distance to the base of the hill. It's advisable to negotiate the fare before starting the journey with auto-rickshaws.
