Suitable for families with children

Family verdict

Go with kids 5–12 for jeep safaris at Pakhui Tiger Reserve and Kameng River activities. Skip if your family needs modern amenities—basic infrastructure is the main constraint here. Arrange your jeep safari in advance, as booking options are limited.

Why this rating?

  • Jeep safari available
  • River fun activities
  • Close to Assam border
