Jogighopa and Pancharatna are two historic sites situated on either banks of
Brahmaputra River, in
Assam. Pancharatna lies on the southern bank and is about 160 km west of
Guwahati by road and Jogighopa lies on the northern banks and is about 212 km from Guwahati by Northern Highways.
Some cubicles which are cut in steep rocks, supposed to have been used by monks for meditation in the medieval period, are found here. Most of the caves found here are very small. Pancharatna boasts some ruins of a post Gupta temple and also some rock-cut ruins including a monolithic Buddhist Stupa.
Jogighopa and Pancharatna can be reached by bus from Guwahati. Ferry services are available in between the sites across the Brahmaputra.
