Sribhumi
Spend a half-day in Sribhumi for the Kushiyara riverfront and town centre, then move on; one night if you want a relaxed pace. Check locally for any border-market activity.
Sribhumi is a small border town in Assam's Barak Valley on the Kushiyara River opposite Bangladesh. Its main interest is the riverfront market and easy access to nearby Silchar and Badarpur. One day covers the sights; a half‑day works if you are on a regional itinerary.
