Rangiaৰঙিয়া
Skip Rangia as a destination: it's a railway junction and market town with no major sights. Use it only as a transit stop if you're connecting to Arunachal Pradesh or Bhutan.
Rangia is a small city in Lower Assam, 52 km from Guwahati, known mainly as a railway junction and divisional headquarters of the Northeast Frontier Railway. The Baralia River flows through town, but there are no significant tourist attractions. Most travellers pass through on the way to Bhutan or Arunachal Pradesh.
