Kareng Ghar (Capital of Ahom Kingdoom), Assam, India
Dramatic if largely unadorned, this 1752 brick palace 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. It’s about 15km along the Sivasagar–Sonari highway down a village road: turn left just before Gargaon.
