Dimapur is the largest city in Nagaland, India. Contrary to popular belief, the city's formation in Nagaland is separate from that of Assam. In the Middle Ages, it was the capital of the Dimasa Kachari Kingdom. In the heart of the town there is an old relic of the Kachari Kingdom which speaks about the once prosperous era. It is located at 25°54′45″N 93°44′30″E / 25.91250°N 93.74167°E / 25.91250; 93.74167 and is bounded by Kohima district on the south and east, Karbi Anglong district of Assam (The Lalung - Tiwa Hills) on the west, the Karbi Anglong and stretch of Golaghat District of Assam, in the west and the north. The name Dimapur is derived from the Dimasa language]; 'Di" means "water", "ma" means "large" and "pur" (sanskritised word) means "city", translating to "Big-river-city", associated with the meaning of "Kachari" which is "people of the river valley" and after the river which flows through it (Dhansari). It is also the gateway to Nagaland and its only railhead. The city also has the only functional airport in the state.

Nagaland Bamboo Resource Center Complex, 6th Mile, Dimapur What was once a sugar mill at 6th mile Dimapur, Nagaland. India, is now a 28.5 acres of land housing the Nagaland Bamboo Development Agency that establish in 2005 the Nagaland Bamboo Resource Center Complex. Visitors to the center will walk in the shade of many varieties of bamboo most of which are mature plants from all over India and other countries of the world including Japan, Taiwan and China. They will learn where the origins of the bamboo came from and their various uses. The Centre develops the plantation and regeneration of the bamboo as well as development of the bamboo based products. You can see the facilities, machinery and production of the bamboo products such as furniture that include beds, chairs, tables, rocking chairs, stools, bathtubs, and beds; household utensils such as steamers, baskets, musical instruments, cutting boards, plates, cups, water containers, paper products, forks and spoons; and building materials such as scaffoldings, mats, bridges, doors, roofs, walls, floors, and blinds. We were surprise that weapons are made from bamboo. Apart from the facilities of production there is a Bamboo Archive (Museum) and a Bamboo Emporium which you can purchase various bamboo products. Near the entrance you can chill out and have delicious meals at the restaurants that is rightly named The Bambusa Restaurant.

Visit to this place takes you back in time, when Ahom Kings of present day Assam conquered this part of North East and set up their palaces and places of worship. Stone monoliths strewn around this place also gives us an idea of the level of technology available in those days, amazing indeed...
