Things to do

While you are at Silchar you can visit Maibong the ancient capital of the Kachari Kingdom. It houses the popular Ek Patthar Ghar which is an ancient Indian temple dating back to 12th century. Although Maibang is located in Dima Hasao district, it is only 62 kilometres from Silchar and is a great destination to visit if you are in Silchar. You may also visit the remnants of the Royal place at Khaspur. Dolu Lake is another lovely spot in Silchar. Maniharan Tunnel is only a few kilometres from Silchar and is a must-see if you're in the area.

The Badarpur Fort, located on the banks of the River Barak, should be next on your list. The Bhubaneswar Temple, one of Assam's most important Shiva temples, is located about 50 kilometres from Silchar on the top of Bhuban Hill. One has to hike from plains to reach the top where the temple is located. Kacha Kanti Kali Mandir established by the Kachari Dynasty is basically a Temple of Goddess Kali and Durga and is located about 14 km from city centre.
