Badarpurবদরপুর
Skip Badarpur unless you need a rail junction or are visiting the Mughal fort: a half-day stop is enough, no need to stay overnight.
Badarpur is a small town in Assam's Barak Valley, best known as a railway junction and for the 17th-century Badarpur Fort on the Barak River. The fort is the only sight; the town itself has limited accommodation and dining. Most travellers pass through en route to Silchar or Sribhumi.
