Step into

Ungma in December

One of the oldest Ao villages.

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

Why December here

Ao history in living form: the ancient village a short drive from Mokokchung town.

Ungma is among the oldest and largest Ao villages, a short drive from Mokokchung: traditional houses on the ridge, the village gate, and community life that has run continuously for centuries. Pair it with Mopungchuket for a full Ao-heritage day.

What to do

Village gate

The traditional entry of a living old village.
