Blowing in the Wind – Nagaland

The Seven Sisters States are our old stomping ground with Nagaland being on our wish list for some time now. It is largely a mountainous state with twenty percent of the total land area covered with wooded forest – a haven for flora and fauna. With this exciting trip we’re foraging into the unknown & together we will uncover its secrets.

Before we take off into the trip details, we cant resist sharing some very interesting facts about our destination. Just to acclimatize you with where we are going!!

Nagaland is one of the smallest states of India. But it more than makes up for it in its diversity. The state is home to sixteen major tribes. The Angami, Ao, Konyaks, Lothas, and Sumis are the largest Naga tribes.

The ancient history of the Nagas is unclear. Tribes migrated at different times, each settling in the north eastern part of present India and establishing their respective sovereign mountain terrains and village-states. They came from the northern Mongolian region, southeast Asia or southwest China. The state of Nagaland was formally inaugurated on 1^st December 1963.

The Naga shawls are famous as they are a symbolic representation of the social hierarchy prevalent in the state among the different tribes. The vibrant red Naga weaves come with vivid designs and patterns and are the most significant clothing piece in Naga society. Each tribe has its individual design or pattern that discern the social status of the person donning the shawl.

And now for the journey. Dibrugarh is our start point from where we take you to Mon – base of the Konyak tribe, the head hunters. Get a chance to see their local chieftain’s home. We then travel to Mokokchung – home to the Ao. We spend a day with them & get a glimpse of their famous wood carvings. Tuophema is our next stop – inhabited by the Angami tribe. We have a performance of a local troupe arranged for you – shake a leg!! In Kohima we will visit the State Museum & the World War II cemetery. After the history lessons, its time for another dip in the lap of nature – we have planned an excursion to the beautiful green village of Khonoma. Its population is just short of 2000 people spread across 400 homes. After eating a meal at a villagers home, we take you back to Kohima & then to Dimapur.
