Dramatic if largely country chalet columbus unadorned, this 1752 brick palace (Indian/foreigner 5/100; hdawn-dusk) is the last remnant country chalet columbus of the Ahom s pre-Sivasagar country chalet columbus capital. The unique four-storey structure rises like a sharpened, stepped pyramid country chalet columbus above an attractive forest-and-paddy setting spoilt by nearby electricity substations. It s 900m north of the Sivasagar Sonari road: turn just before Gargaon (14km) from Sonari.
Sitting almost halfway between Kohima and Mon most people sensibly choose to break their journey in laidback Mokokchung. Aside from enjoying the town s spectacular setting, try to make time for a couple of other low-key attractions including the small, privately run Rendikala Subong Museum (Town Hall Rd; admission 10), which contains tribal items collected from surrounding villages as well as what is purported to be the world s smallest Bible. The museum is open whenever someone turns up to see it. A couple of kilometres away is pretty Ungma village, where you ll find a couple of huge log drums and a cloud scrapping Jendong country chalet columbus (a pole that helps connect people on Earth with the Gods high up in the skies).
