MON
Altitude: 897.64 metres
Area: 1786 Sq.km
Population: 2,59,604
Mon District headquarters looks like a rural-urban town with admixture of palm leaves bamboo walled house and yucca houses. People with tattooed faces and blackened teeth come to sell their village produce in Mon town, which includes betel nut and an assortment of vegetables and handicrafts and makes an interesting sight to behold.
DISTRICT HEADQUARTERS
Mon brings to one’s mind, pictures of chiefs, tattoed faces of Konyaks and muzzle-loading guns, which the ingenious Konyaks manufacture. It is 357 km from Kohima via Dimapur and 280 km from Dimapur, 275 km from Kohima via Mokokchung, Tamlu and Wakching. Mon headquarters, home of the Konyaks, was established at Chen and Mon villages land: being centrally located for the coronation of Anghs (Chiefs). Here, one sees the feathered headgears and traditional dresses. Konyaks are adept artisans and skilled craftsmen. Here you find excellent woodcarvings, daos, guns, gunpowder, headbrushes, headgears, necklaces made by these artisans and craftsmen. It is an exciting experience to pay a visit to Angh’s house at Chuff, Mon, Shangnyu, Sheangha, Chinyu, Wakching and Japoka. Konyaks are ruled by hereditary chiefs known as Anghs and the institution of Anghship is only prevalent among the Konyaks - Aoling monyu is observed during the first week of April (1-3) and is a spectacle worth a watch.
NAGANIMORA
This is a sub-division in Mon District and is situated in Kongan village land. The only coalfield in Nagaland established by East India Company in 1907 is at Borjan near Naganimora. According to legend, a Konyak Queen, Wationg Konyak, married to an Ahom king died at Lakhan. The king renamed Lakhan as Naganimora in honour of his dead wife. “Nagani” means Naga Queen and “mora” meaning death. The dying place of Naga Queen. The second rail link to Nagaland from Simulguri (Assam) also connects Naganimora. Every Saturday, there is and interesting weekly market here with a medley crowd of Assamese and Konyak Nagas, bringing their wares for sale.
CHUI VILLAGE
Chui village is situated about 8 km from the district headquarters of Mon. Though located on the Tuensang - Mon route and situated near a semi-urban town of Mon, it still retains its old world charm. One can see some of the houses constructed in the true Konyak tradition with palm leaves roofing and the main pillars jutting out. Chui is also famous for things ethnic. The artisans and craftsmen of the village are not only good at bamboo and woodworks but are experts in gun and gunpowder making. A “Must See” for those tourists who have no time to see other further villages.
VEDA PEAK
This hill, which is the highest in the district, is about 70 km East of Mon. From the peak, one can have a clear view of both river Brahmaputra and Chindwin on a clear day. There is a waterfall on the slopes of this hill. This is one of the best locations in the whole of Konyak countryside.
