Unakoti is located somewhere between Kailashahar and Dharmanagar and is popular for the ruins that define the landscape here. The thick vegetation and hilly terrain of the surrounding areas make it difficult to locate Unakoti initially. The bas reliefs of Unakoti are absolutely unique and unparalleled in the region. The ruins date back to 7^th and 9h century and the entire area is strewn with statues and figures resembling different Gods. There are statues of Nandi Bull, Ganesha, phallic structures dedicated to Lord Shiva and many more.
