Back to Guwahati

Dispur is the capital of Assam, home to the state secretariat and many government offices, and it sits along the busy GS Road corridor that has become Guwahati’s main commercial spine. The area is full of malls, offices, hotels, cafés and restaurants, and it is popular with young professionals, students and families. For Myra members, Dispur and GS Road offer modern, convenient settings for a first date, especially after work. Introductions here often include people from Ganeshguri, Last Gate, Bhangagarh, Christian Basti and Rukminigaon, depending on your distance limit. The malls along GS Road are comfortable places to meet during heavy rain, while the cafés in Christian Basti are lively in the evening. Many members here work in government, banking or private offices, so after-work coffees are common. For a quieter first meeting, choose a café on a side road rather than the main corridor, where traffic is heavy and noisy at peak hours. Weekend mornings are calmer along the corridor, and a relaxed breakfast in Christian Basti is a good alternative to a busy weekday evening. In the cooler months, outdoor seating at several cafés here is especially pleasant. Dispur became the capital of Assam in 1973, when the state government moved from Shillong after Meghalaya was created. The Assam Secretariat complex and the Assembly building stand here, and in the evenings the Ganeshguri flyover area lights up with food stalls selling momos, pitha and fish curry. The Basistha ashram and temple on the city’s southern edge is linked to the sage Vasishtha and stands beside a stream that tumbles down from the Meghalaya hills.
