Why November here

Tuensang district: Chang, Sangtam and Khiamniungan villages, Naknyulum season and big empty ridges.

Tuensang is the large eastern district of Chang, Sangtam and Khiamniungan country: the ridge town, Chang villages with their log drums, and the Naknyulum festival (announced annually) that celebrates victory and harvest.

What to do

Chang log drums

The great carved drums of the eastern villages.
