Karbi Anglong district, Administrative district in Central Assam, India
Karbi Anglong is an administrative district in northeastern Assam with rolling hills and forest-covered terrain. The region is crossed by several rivers and contains both dense woodland areas and agricultural valleys.
The district developed from the Mikir Hills, which British authorities incorporated into Nowgong administrative region in 1884. This early administrative integration shaped how the area is organized today.
The Karbi people form the main community here, and their language, crafts, and celebrations shape everyday life across the region. You will encounter these traditions directly in local markets and village settings.
You can reach the district through road connections to major Assam cities, with the main railway station located in Diphu. The best time to visit is between October and March when conditions are driest.
The area is known for its ginger, which has geographical protection status and appears in high quality on local markets. At the same time, protected forests cover roughly 40 percent of the territory and shelter rare plants and animals.
