Cole park is one of the most interesting places in the Tezpur. The cole park is the perfect place for the peace lovers. This is the place, where the two impressively ornamented stone pillars and the sculptural remains of the famous Bamuni hill can be seen.
The ruins of Bamuni Hills are famous for their exemplary artistic finesse. The sculptural remains date back to the ninth and tenth century A.D. The Bhairavi and Mahabhairab (where king Bana worshipped Mahabhairab, an incarnation of Shiva) temples and the twin tanks of Bar Pukhuri and Padum Pukhuri are the other architectural attractions of Tezpur.
Bhalukpung is a charming picnic and angling spot, 60 km from Tezpur, on the road to Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh. Other attractions of Bhalukpung are a hot spring and a huge orchid garden.
