Khaspur
Khaspur is a significant historical site that once served as the last capital of the Kachari Kingdom. The ruins date back to the 18th century and showcase the grandeur of the Dimasa rulers who moved here from Maibong. The site is scattered with ancient structures including the Lion Gate, the Sun Ga te, and the King’s Temple. It is a peaceful location surrounded by green fields and tea gardens, making it a favorite for history buffs.
