Culture and History
Tinsukia is the economic capital of Assam. It is the main business center of upper Assam. This city is a gateway to many places of tourist interest in Upper Assam. Tinsukia has a couple of good hotels to stay overnight before you embark on a journey to the nearby areas. This was the city which was connected by the Bengal-Assam railways way back in the 19th century, resulting in a very high influx of businessmen, railway employees and laborers from the mainland India. The introduction of railways into this area permanently changed the demographic configuration of the area resulting in wider socio-political effects. During the second world war, the outskirts of the city was used for setting up camps for the US army.
Unfortunately, this cosmopolitan city has been affected by perpetual terrorist strikes for last few years.

Tinsukia tourist attractions and sightseeing
Tinsukia is famous for its tea gardens.Endless stretches of tea gardens are very pleasing to the eyes. Its a verdant country.The greenery encompasses the traveller till he is awestruck. Tinsukia is also the capital of the Muttack Rajah's, and in a place called Guijan you come across the ruins of the kingdom. Guijan is just 45 minutes from Tinsukia town. But there is nothing particular about the town to talk about. There is a temple of lord Krishna. Other than that it is an industrialised town and the pollution ratio is high. Roads are narrow and bad; as it is in all small Indain towns. However, just as you step outside,the beauty of the tea gardens overwhelm you. Ninety minutes away from Tinsukia lies the town of Digboi,which boasts of the first Oil Refinery in India.
