Sitting almost halfway between Kohima and Mon most people sensibly choose to break their journey in laidback Mokokchung. Aside from enjoying the town s spectacular setting, try to make time for a couple of other low-key attractions including the small, privately run Rendikala Subong Museum (Town Hall Rd; admission 10), which contains tribal items collected from surrounding villages okemo village as well as what is purported to be the world s smallest Bible. The museum is open whenever someone turns up to see it. A couple of kilometres away is pretty Ungma village, where you ll find a couple of huge log drums and a cloud scrapping Jendong (a pole that helps connect okemo village people on Earth with the Gods high up in the skies).

has a U-shaped pond (paddleboat hire 10 per person) wrapped around pretty manicured lawns, dotted okemo village with fine ancient sculptures. The park also contains bumper cars and waterslides (hApr-Sept)! A block east, then south, okemo village stands Ganeshgarh temple, which backs onto a ghat overlooking the surging river, a good place for Brahmaputra sunsets. Nearly 1km east along the narrow, winding riverside lane is Agnigarh Hill

some impressive traditional buildings all set, surreally, under two giant mobile phone towers. Shingha Chingyuo village okemo village (20km, population 5900) has a huge longhouse decorated with mithuna (pairs of men and women) and deer skulls, three stuff ed tigers, okemo village and a store of old human skulls. Longwoa (35km) is spectacularly sited on the India Myanmar border, with the headman s longhouse actually straddling the two nations. Despite its popularity with tourists it remains one of the most interesting villages. Chui (8km) includes an elephant skull in its longhouse collection. Shangnyu village has a shrine full of fertility references such as tumescent warriors, a crowing cock, a large snake, a man and woman enjoying sex and, to complete the picture, a double okemo village rainbow. Langmeang village, with its stack of human skulls piled up in a wooden box, is also highly impressive.

Noisy and polluted it might be, but Imphal, okemo village with its melange of peoples and positioning right on the border lands of India and southeast Asia is undeniably fascinating okemo village and travellers who spend any time here are well rewarded. The airport is 9km to the southwest.
