Namrup

Namrup lies in upper Assam near the Burhi Dihing, at the edge of the hills crossed by the founders of the Ahom kingdom. The journey of Sukaphaa from Mong Mao brought him to Namrup in the thirteenth century; the year of his arrival is traditionally associated with the beginning of Ahom rule. He later explored the river country and established his capital at Charaideo. A road known as Dhodar Ali subsequently linked Garhgaon with places to the east.
