Nagaland

Nagaland

Nagaland is a small hilly charming state inhibited by sixteen major tribes and sub-tribes who have their own languages and dialect. The present Nagaland state was curved out arbitrarily for administrative purposes.
Naga tribes as bounded by the Hukawng valley in the Northeast, the plains of Brahmaputra valley to the Northwest; Kachar to the southwest and of Chinwin to the east. The south of Manipur valley roughly marks the point of contact between the Naga tribes and more closely interrelated group of Kuki tribes. They have distinct culture and customs of their own; also the ways of living are widely different from those of the plains of Assam and the others of India

Kohima War Cemetery

Kohima War Cemetery, a symbolic memorial commemorating the memories of the officers and men who sacrificed their lives during World War II is a must visit. Well maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, and steeped in tranquility, it is embellished by two tall crosses gainst the backdrop of seasonal roses and lush grass. The gentle hill where the cemetery is located is embellished by stone markers with shining bronze plaques, each one commemorating the name of the men who sacrificed their lives.
