Why January here
Stone houses and royal relics of the Dimasa Kachari kingdom on the Mahur road.
Maibang was a capital of the Dimasa Kachari kingdom: the stone house (monolithic structures), royal tanks and temple ruins sit above the Mahur river, a quiet heritage stop on the Haflong-Silchar road.
Wildlife this month: Kaziranga and Manas are open and at their best: grass is short and sightings are easiest.
