Why December here
Mound tombs of the Ahom royals, listed by UNESCO, on the ridge where the dynasty began.
Charaideo was the first Ahom capital and remained the dynasty’s sacred burial ground: the maidams, vaulted mound tombs of kings and queens, line the ridge. The complex was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2023.
Wildlife this month: Full safari season.
