Upper Assam is called as area of Jorhat to Tinsukia and Lower Assam means Kokrajhar to Kaziranga.This city is a gateway to many places of tourist interest in Upper Assam and this district is the end of Assam sharing its boundaries with Arunachal Pradesh. 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.
