Nagaland’s unique Angami tourist village - Tuophema
The tourist village is run and maintained by a team of young locals and overseen by the elected village council.
With just over 500 families, this is a tightly-knit village that has offered tourists from near and far a rare chance to experience Angami hospitality.
The history of the village is said to go back to 1461 CE, and the old northern gate is one of the village's few historical remains.
A guided walk around the village, arranged by the helpful staff at the tourist village, will take you past the old and new sections of the village
Close to the huts is a small museum that was set up in 2006. This well-lit room displays Angami dresses, headdresses, weapons, and jewelry, along with household and ritual items relevant to this area.
