Digboi
Digboi is one of the towns in Tinsukia district where the traces of
Colonial rule of the British India are seen at large as in Digboi you will
identify two modern wonders of the world a hundred-year-old oil field still
producing and the world’s oldest operating oil refinery. Surrounded by hills
and undulating plains embedded with green tea plantations, Digboi remains a
cliché of colonial nostalgia. Digboi is one of the abundant and rich towns of
Tinsukia District.
National Oil Park: - Digboi also
has an oil museum and a wildlife sanctuary of unsurpassed beauty. Going down
the hill, visitors will come across oil derricks of various types and other
devices still declaring the glory and marvel of the now outdated innovations of
the last forties. If one comes down from the hill on the other side, one will
have the greatest sight of his lifetime. One may also bump across a herd of
elephants or a Royal Bengal Tiger, besides some rare species of birds.
War Cemetery :-the most
dramatic event in Digboi’s history took place during the World War II, when the
belligerent Japanese came close to within three days marching distance of
Digboi. These images come back as one kneels at the headstones at the Digboi
War Cemetery.
The 18-hole golf course developed
by the Scottish pioneers in their immutable style. In fact, Digboi can almost
be called a Golfing Resort with as many as eight golf courses within close
proximity, each with its own individual character and challenges
