Stunning Khonoma Pictures: Explore Asia's First Green Village in Nagaland
In this travel blog, I am sharing my 12 best Khonoma pictures that will conclude your trip to Khonoma without personally travelling. Also, in the end, I will suggest how to travel from Kohima to Khonoma. But before that, a little introduction…
Khonoma Pictures: A Photo Blog
Rural Nagaland is beautiful and friendly. The only problem is, it doesn’t have the infrastructure for tourists — a prominent reason why many people visiting Nagaland return home without visiting anything beyond Kohima and other popular big towns like Mon and Mokokchung. This is where Khonoma makes a distinction. You will see in below Khonoma pictures how it has developed tourist infrastructure.
Despite a small world charm and a village culture, Khonoma offers all facilities to a tourist. The town has its own tourist centre, almost every local family is eager to entertain tourists, and the many sustainable tourism efforts like the availability of dustbins and public toilets at people’s disposal moreover adds to the experience.
Talking about things to do in Khonoma, the town offers experiences like birdwatching, trekking or simply rejuvenating oneself amidst a setting where the chirping of birds and crickets and the burble of torrents dominate the soundscape. And if something is still missing, you always have the local Angami tribe to learn more about. Explore their achievements in moving ahead from their own traditions and creating a more conserved and sustainable ecosystem.
Get a glimpse of their lifestyle (which you can do in below Khonoma photos too) and understand how the Angami Tribe that was once known for largely depending on nature for their food and hunt on a mass level, gave up on their centuries-old practices and ended up being eco-activists.
So let’s start with…
