Puroni Bheti

Top choice in Assam


A highlight of Jorhat is the delightful Puroni Bheti, set amid lush tea gardens 7km west of the town centre and run by a super-hospitable planter and his family. Personalised attention, premium accommodation, wonderful homemade food, and music- and laughter-filled evenings with the hosts guarantee a memorable stay. It's 2.5km north from Pulibor on NH715 (old NH37).
