Why November here
Mon district: Konyak villages, the Angh’s court at Chi, Longwa on the Myanmar line and Aoleang in April.
Mon is the Konyak Naga homeland, the district of the once-feared headhunters and their tattooed elders: Chi village’s Angh house (the hereditary chief’s court), the gun-smithing village, and Longwa where the Angh’s house straddles the India-Myanmar border.
What to do
Chi village
The Angh’s traditional court and house.
Tattooed elders
The living faces of Konyak history (ask before photographing).
