Meeting the Angami tribe at Tuophema!
Youngsters at Tuophema in district Kohima set up a Tuophema Tourist Village where the nerves relax as soon as you enter! Nature abounds - as everywhere in Nagaland - and you watch mesmerized while having the welcome drink, "Laal Chai"! This is not a place to visit, but to simply rest and relax never wanting to move away. Perfect destination if one wants to work away from home with fantastic spaces and hospitality.

| The Village...I don't wish to go back! |

| The Dining Hall with the ubiquitous roof top. |
We were all relaxed and full of smiles as we wandered around with our guide.
Me, "How do you all feel for switching to Christianity?"
She, "It is okay for us for all we have to do is some prayers in the morning and evening. Otherwise we live as before. The PEACE is amazing!'

| Relaxed as I wander around. |
 |
| The Colours of Tupohema. |
What does one DO in Tuophema?
Wander!
That is what you do in Tuophema, one of the most peaceful places I have ever seen in India. The quaint and quiet village has the Angami people wandering around peacefully exchanging smiles with anyone who passes by, including US.
Wander at sunrise

| We can't stop clicking! |
Wander at sunset
 |
| The Ubiquitous Church |
 |
| Wander and breathe in the colours. |
Marvel at the People & their quirks!
 |
| Good Morning! We don't speak each others' language. |
This is the cross road which divides Tuophema into 2 parts:
- YES to Christianity
- NO to Christianity
There is not much difference between the streets and the people, ostensibly!
The difference is only in Yes/No.

Suggestions!- Check the sunrise and sunset timings for the best enjoyment.
- Stay for at least 2 to 3 days to enjoy the place fully.
- Have a guide for language would be an issue.
- Keep an extra roll in the camera!
