Maibang

About 50 km away from Halflong, on the banks of the River Mahur, lies the ancient town Maibang, the historic capital of Dimasa kingdom, famous for stone inscriptions, ancient monoliths, and ruins. Once the capital of Dimacha Kingdom of the Kachari rulers (16th – 18th century), Maibang is now one of the regional headquarters of the Dima Hasao District. Maibang is blessed with a scenic landscape and ornamented with the ruins and monuments of its erstwhile rulers. Maibang’s famous attraction is the Ramchandi Temple. This two-roofed monolithic temple is an architectural wonder, having been chiselled out of a single rock. It bears inscriptions of dating back to 1761 CE.
