Geography & terrain

Longkhum lies in the Mon district of Nagaland at about 1,800 m, 30 km from Mon and 200 km from Dimapur — the high viewpoint village of the region, its cloud views, the Konyak life and the hills set on the district's eastern ridge.

History & culture

The village's story runs with the Konyak hill life — the village of the Konyak tribe and the old head-hunting past, with the village's modern role as the viewpoint stop of the Mon circuit and the home of the tattooed elders; the village's history of the village gates and the bamboo craft, gives Longkhum its high-village character.
