At a height of 872 mts above sea level overlooking the town of Tura stands Tura Peak. Local legend has it that the peak is a sacred shelter or abode to the ‘Gods’. The Tura range has been declared a reserve forest with an observatory, a Cinchona plantation and a tourist bungalow. A magnificent view of the lower Brahmaputra valley as well as the golden yellow plains of Bangladesh can be seen from the peak. A foot-track or path developed during the British Raj can be used by tourists and adventurers to reach Tura peak with ease and comfort.
