 Nimati or Nimati Ghat is one excellent travel attraction, situated at a very short distance of 17 km from Jorhat.
The city of Jorhat was the last capital of Ahom Kingdome, and is also praised for featuring numerous historical monuments.
Nimati river port is one of the strongest attribute behind the growth of Jorhat City.
The port serves as administrative headquarters, commercial carrying centers and financial institutions.
At 5am the horizon shines as the bright sun enlightens the river bank. Coconut and betel nut trees created silhouettes against the pink sky. Any minute the sun would germinate from the mountains  Nimati Ghat is the place to reach before sunrise. Nimati Ghat is around 5-10km from Jorhat and local cabs run frequently from Jorhat for Rs.20.Golden fields of ripened rice plants and Morning fog adds luxury to the sunrise which is quite common in the plains of Assam during autumn and winter. It is refreshing to spot so many birds within a short span.
