How To Reach Ouguri Hill

Tezpur, Assam, India
Ouguri Hill is a prominent and picturesque hillock situated right on the north bank of the mighty Brahmaputra River in Tezpur. This popular tourist destination is known primarily for its breathtaking panoramic views of the sprawling Brahmaputra River on one side and the entire Tezpur town on the oth er. The hill's landscape is distinguished by large rock formations and monoliths that pose a challenge and attraction for adventure seekers. The serene atmosphere, combined with the spectacular views, makes it an ideal spot for nature lovers, photographers, and those seeking a peaceful escape from the city bustle. The site also holds historical and cultural significance, featuring a statue of Kanaklata Barua, a revered freedom fighter and martyr of the Quit India Movement. The presence of this statue gives the hill a patriotic and solemn dimension, reminding visitors of her sacrifice. Local folklore also weaves a beautiful tale around the hill, suggesting it might be the resting place of Rukmini, the wife of Lord Krishna, though the primary attraction remains the stunning scenery. Climbing to the top of the hill is an easy trek and is immensely rewarding, especially during sunrise and sunset when the sky's colors reflect beautifully off the river. The natural beauty of Ouguri Hill, with its lush greenery and formidable rock structures against the backdrop of one of Asia’s largest rivers, solidifies its position as a must-visit location in Tezpur. Its proximity to the city center makes it easily accessible for a quick visit or a longer, contemplative stay.

How to Reach

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.
