The Assam-Bhutan border is characterized by picturesque landscapes, forested hills, and river valleys, making it both a strategic and scenic international boundary. It plays an important role in trade, tourism, and cultural exchange between the two regions, while also serving as an entry point for eco-tourism to Bhutan’s southern belt.
