Bhairabkunda Picnic Spot

Bhairabkunda Picnic Spot is a popular seasonal picnic destination located at Bhairabkunda in Udalguri district, Assam, at the tri-junction of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Bhutan. Situated on the banks of the Dhansiri River at the foothills of Bhutan, it is centered around the Bhairabkunda Irrigation Project and barrage. Known for its scenic riverbed, forested hills and Bhutan border views, it attracts large numbers of winter picnickers.

Visitors can expect a wide, shallow riverbed of the Dhansiri River with clear water, boulders and sandy banks set against forested Bhutan hills. The main area includes the irrigation barrage and reservoir, open picnic grounds, and views of the Bhutan border gate at Daifam. Visitors can walk along the river, wade in shallow stretches in winter, take photographs, and use designated picnic areas with basic stalls and parking.

Bhairabkunda is known for the Bhairabkunda Irrigation Project, a barrage built on the Dhansiri River near the Bhutan border for irrigation and flood control in Udalguri district. The project and associated reservoir developed the area as a managed water resource and subsequently as a recreational picnic spot.

Bhairabkunda is a well-established winter picnic tradition for visitors from across Assam and neighboring regions. Its location at the Assam-Bhutan border makes it a point of cross-border interaction, with visitors often viewing the nearby Bhutan gate and experiencing the shared riverine landscape.
