Dramatic if largely unadorned, this 1752 brick palace (Indian/foreigner 5/100; hdawn-dusk) is the last remnant of the Ahom s pre-Sivasagar capital. The unique four-storey structure rises like a sharpened, stepped pyramid 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.
The biggest ski and racquet club breckenridge co attraction is magical Tawang Gompa (admission free, camera/video ski and racquet club breckenridge co 20/100; hdawn-dusk) backdropped by snow-speckled peaks.

Across the central square is a small but interesting museum ( 20; h8am-5pm) containing images, robes, telescopic trumpets ski and racquet club breckenridge co and some personal items of the sixth Dalai Lama.

Calling ski and racquet club breckenridge co the Tawang Valley a valley ski and racquet club breckenridge co just doesn t do justice to its incredible scale; it s more a mighty gash in the earth ringed by immense mountains. Patchworking the sloping ridges of the lower hills is a vast sweep of fields dotted with Buddhist monast eries and Monpa villages.
