Lumding

Hills of Lumding puts it to a notable altitude from the sea level, but summers here can burn you up to 40 °C and the winters can be as chilling as 4-5 °C with fog and mist intervening in the early hours of the day. Monsoon is a notable season here, with rainfall around 60–125mm at an average. But its hills and altitude prevents any flooding in the region during heavy monsoon.
