Over the river and east
From Tezpur, the truck crosses the Kolia Bhomora bridge to the south bank at Kaliabor, then turns east along the highway past Kaziranga to Bokakhat. From there it continues north-east through tea country to Jorhat. It's a scenic but busy road, and the park stretch has strict speed limits.
Leaving Tezpur
Defence stations and the university have gate rules and handover inspections. Share them with your mover and load early so the truck can pass Kaziranga in daylight.
Past the park
Rhinos, elephants and deer cross the highway beside Kaziranga, especially in the flood season. Night restrictions on heavy vehicles may apply. A mover who knows the route will plan around them.
Where in Jorhat
The centre around Garali and the markets is busy; colonies along the AT Road and towards the airport and university are easier. The research institutes, the university and the Air Force station have their own campuses and rules. Give the exact address and a landmark.
Why people make this move
Air Force and army postings, the university and research institutes, and tea companies move staff between Tezpur and Jorhat. If an employer is paying, ask what documents they need; every mover we work with provides a GST invoice.
Floods
Between June and September, floods can cut or slow the road near Kaziranga. Keep a spare day and wrap everything against water. November to March usually suits this route best.
Festivals
Rongali Bihu and Durga Puja crowd both towns, and Jorhat's Raas season is busy in November. Choose a date clear of them.
Students
A student moving to Jorhat's agricultural university or colleges usually needs a few-items move. Check the hostel's dates first.
Packing
Ask for wooden furniture in blankets, mattresses and fabrics in sealed covers, and electronics in their own cartons with moisture absorbers.
Golaghat and Bokakhat
Some moves on this route end in Bokakhat or Golaghat. Give the exact address and a landmark.
Assam-type houses
Many homes at both ends have wooden floors and steps. Ask the crew to protect floors and carry heavy pieces rather than drag them.
Two-wheelers
A scooter or motorcycle can usually travel in the same truck if it is wrapped, photographed and listed separately. Our bike transport service page explains the options.
Settling in
In Jorhat, ask how the water supply works, check the power backup for storms, and book internet early. Our guide to address changes after moving lists the official records to update.
Kaliabor
Kaliabor, where the bridge from Tezpur meets the highway, is a junction town with traffic from three directions. Trucks often slow here.
Numaligarh
Numaligarh, near Bokakhat, has a refinery and its township. Some moves on this route end there, and the township has its own gate rules.
Golaghat
Golaghat, a district town just south of the highway, has many tea gardens around it. Some moves on this route end there; give the exact address and the estate name if it's a garden bungalow.
