Geography & terrain

Tuensang lies in the Tuensang district of Nagaland at about 1,371 m, 250 km from Kohima and 80 km from Mon — the frontier town of the region, its Chang villages, the feasts and the hills set on the Myanmar border.

History & culture

The town's story runs with the 2000s tourism era — the frontier town of the Chang villages and the 2000s-era tourism of the Nagaland life, with the town's modern role as the culture stop of the eastern circuit and the home of the Chang lanes and the feast halls and the 2010s-era walks; the town's history of the 1960s-era administration and the border life, gives Tuensang its frontier character.
