About

As an old Naga saying goes, 'a single visit to Longkhum is not enough , for your soul stays behind the first time and you have to return there once more to get it back'. This saying springs from the fact that Rhododendrons adorn the hillocks and the precipices surrounding it, providing an astounding sight during full bloom. Exquisite ethnic handlooms and handicrafts by the expert craftsmen are also found in plenty here. An animist religion called Limapur still exists in this village, where a few families worship a God called Longlanpa Tsungrem.
