Tura - The Cultural and Administrative Center of the Garo Tribals

Tura provides some of the finest views of the hills against a backdrop of the plains, and the sweeping curve of the mighty Brahmaputra. Tura peak (1,400) is reached by a five kilometer trek which is part hiking, part rock-climbing. From Tura, visitor can go to two exotic wildlife reserves.

Balpakram: A sanctuary of the typical fauna of the region. The other, noted mainly for the birds, is in the Namhak Lake-Simsang river area. The famous limestone caves of Siju are located quite near the Namphak Lake Simasang river game reserve. The formations of stalctites and stalagmites in these caves are said to resemble those in the famous Blue Grotto in the Isle of Capri. The adjoining stream is good for angling.
