Located in North East India, Nagaland has unmatched cultural heritage. Rich in flora and fauna, around one-sixth of this wondrous land is covered with forests.

One of the striking features about Nagaland is its fascinating tribes. The different tribes are marked by the colourful costumes and jewellery they wear. There are around 16 tribes in the state and each tribe has its own unique traditions and culture. These tribes have long perfected the art of making beautiful carpets, shawls, cane and bamboo products, jewellery, pottery, masks, wooden objects, musical instruments etc.

Music is an important part of the lives of Nagaland people. And if we say that 'music equals daily life' in this state, it would not be wrong as they go about their daily chores singing melodious songs.

One of the must-see destinations of Nagaland is the Khonoma Green Valley. Enveloped in scenic beauty this place greets you with breathtaking views of the mountains, forests and waterfalls. It is dotted with beautiful orchids and bracken ferns. Here you can see paddy terraces where 20 types of rice are grown. There is also an ancient bastion in the valley.
