Meet September at

Longleng in December

The Phom district.

Quick answer. Festival month. Cold nights, clear days, and the whole state points at Kisama. For Longleng specifically, December is a comfortable month with the usual hill-state caveats.

Why December here

Phom country: Mungmung on September 1, quiet ridges and honest village hospitality.

Longleng is the Phom Naga district north of Mokokchung: the hill headquarters, Phom villages with communal morungs, and Mungmung, the Phom festival, which the 2026 official calendar lists for September 1.

What to do

Mungmung gatherings

Village-wide feasting and dance, early September.

Elsewhere in Nagaland in December
