Longleng District
Quick answer. Phom villages in bamboo country, community festivals, the Yongnyah ridges.
People & festivals
Phom call Longleng home, and the district's calendar centres on Monyü (April). Every tribe also brings its culture to the <a href="/hornbill-festival/">Hornbill Festival</a> each December, the easiest way to meet all of Nagaland’s communities in one trip.
Why travellers come
Longleng is the Phom heartland, a small district of bamboo groves and hill villages where Monyü brings the whole community out in April. Off-trail Nagaland, best combined with a Mon district loop.
Getting there
Via Mokokchung or Mon district roads; long journeys either way. See the Nagaland travel guide for the state-level routes and seasons.
