Silchar - ‘Island of Peace’
Silchar is a major city in the state of Assam. One of the rarely known facts about Silchar is that the first polo club in the world was formed here by the British. The distance between Silchar and Guwahati, the capital of Assam, is about 343 km, hence IndiGo provides cheap flights from Agartala to Silchar. In terms of educational institutes, business and tourism, this place has it all.
Major Tourist attractions in Silchar
Silchar’s exquisite natural beauty is somewhat underrated for travellers who are visiting the city for the first time. Maniharan Tunnel, Khaspur, Umrangshu, ISKCON Temple Salganga, Maibong, Gandhibagh Park and the Bhuban Mahadev Temple are some of the popular tourist spots.
Things to do in Silchar
Goldighi Shopping Mall and Ellora Market are good places to shop for local souvenirs. Since Silchar is a haven of tea gardens, pick some flavourful leaves and sip on them at cafes to take a taste of the North-east. The city is interesting in its own way, left to be explored.
