Map |
Nagaland is physically and conceptually at the very extremity of the
sub-continent .Many of its hills and valleys, home to the fiercely
independent Nagas, were unchartered until recently, and the eastern regions
remain far beyond the reach of the skeletal road network. The
hospitability of the people here and their culture and tradition simply
touch the heart. Moreover, the Nagaland is an ideal destination for
trekking, rock climbing and jungle camping. The state consists of
seven districts with sixteen tribes
& sub-tribes inhabiting it. The Naga tribes are generally full of folklore.
They are fond of seasonal songs, solo, duet and choric. Here man has to
fight nature all the time. The struggle however, makes people tough. The
people here are strongly built, simple, honest and hard working. |
