various districts. The Naga Hills run through this small state, which has Saramati as its highest peak at a height of 12,600 ft. The main rivers that flow through Nagaland are Dhansiri, Doyang, Dikhu and Jhanji.
The common link between the 16 tribes of Nagaland who have different dialects, costumes etc, is the craze for music and dance. The social position of the reticent Naga is decided by the number of home necklaces, he wears.
The Nagas, inhabitants of Nagaland, belong to the Indo-Mongoloid stock, a race whose presence was first noted at the time of the compilation of the Vedas. Nagaland is bounded by Assam in the west, Burma on the East, Arunachal Pradesh & Assam on the North and Manipur in the South. The state consists of seven districts with sixteen tribes & sub-tribes inhabiting it. The Naga tribes are generally full of folklore. Here man has to fight nature all the time. The struggle however, makes people tough. The people here are strongly built, simple, honest and hard working.

is a picturesque hill-station perched at an altitude of 1,495 mt above
sea level. It bears the symbolic memorial of the second world war,

important landmark, as it happens to be one of the largest cathedrals in
the entire north-east and houses the biggest cross in the country. The
