Ungma Village Mokokchung

One of the most historically rich villages of Nagaland is Ungma . The village is located about 10 km south from the centre of Mokokchung town. Despite being one of the urbanest villages, Ungma has successfully integrated their cultures and traditions into their modern way of life. It is where the Ao Nagas tribe had initially originated from. This cultural hotspot is a major tourist attraction of the Nagaland. The village is divided into 2 sections, Yimpang and Yimlang. The villagers of Ungma are mostly Christians and yet infused with rich Ao Naga culture. The prejudices of the Ao society are preserved carefully and this place is often called as the ‘living museum of the traditions of the tribe’.
