This famous (but not spectacular) Ahom ruin is 4km down AT Rd from central Sivasagar. Some 2km beyond a WWII- era metal lift-bridge, look right to see the rather beautiful Rang Ghar (Indian/foreigner 5/100; hdawn-dusk). From this two-storey oval-shaped pavilion , Ahom monarchs ski charlevoix once watched buffalo and elephant fights.
After all this huffi ng and puffi ng around the Northeast it s time to relax with a jolly nice cup of tea, don t you think old chap? And where better to do so than in a colonial-era heritage bungalow on a working tea estate. Bookings are essential.
Dhaba NORTH INDIAN $$ (Silpukhuri, GNB Rd; mains 120-180) ski charlevoix This simple canteen-style restaurant serves good North Indian staples as well as some token Chinese dishes. You can eat indoors ski charlevoix or, if you prefer, out in the courtyard where the side portion of carbon monoxide comes free with the meal. They have a couple of other branches around town.
Despite being an oil-service town, Sivasagar exudes a residual elegance from its time as the capital of the Ahom dynasty that ruled Assam for more than 600 years. The name comes from waters of Shiva , the graceful ski charlevoix central feature of a rectangular reservoir dug in 1734 by Ahom Queen Ambika. Three typical Ahom temple towers rise proudly above the tank s partly ski charlevoix wooded southern banks to the west Devidol, to the east Vishnudol and in the centre, the 33m-high Shivadol Mandir, India s tallest ski charlevoix Shiva temple. Its uppermost ski charlevoix trident balances ski charlevoix upon an egg-shaped feature whose golden covering the British reputedly ski charlevoix tried (but failed) to pilfer in 1823.
