Route
Dibrugarh to Parashuram Kund Taxi
Mostly plains driving with a short approach through low hills to the Lohit riverbank
Parashuram Kund — also written Parshuram Kund or Parasuram Kund — is a Hindu pilgrimage site on the Lohit river in Lohit district. It draws very large numbers of pilgrims around Makar Sankranti in mid-January, when the site and the roads leading to it are considerably busier.
Outside the mela period it is a quiet riverside site, easily combined with Namsai, Wakro and Tezu.

Planning this sector
During the Makar Sankranti period, expect heavy traffic, crowded accommodation and slower travel. Book well in advance.
The riverbank can be slippery; footwear matters.
Wakro's orange belt and Tezu make a natural three-day combination with the Kund.
Seasonal notes
October to March is the pleasant travel window.
Mid-January is the pilgrimage peak.
