KOHIMA WAR CEMETERY lies on the battle ground of Garrison Hill. No trace remains of the bungalow, which was destroyed in the fighting, but white concrete lines mark and preserve permanently the historic tennis court. The cemetery now contains 1,420 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War. At the highest point in the cemetery stands the KOHIMA CREMATION MEMORIAL commemorating 917 Hindu and Sikh soldiers whose remains were cremated in accordance with their faith.

This memorial holds an important position in the history of North-East India. Very touching to see that many of the soldiers who lost their lives in the battles in the region are very young, often in their twenties.

Longwa is noted for two things, the presence of old tatoo'd Head Hunters and its location on the border between India and Myanmar. You have to get permission to travel here at the local police / army check point and the Indian Army have a clear presence. It is fascinating place and you feel ike you have reached the edge of civilsation. There plenty of handicratfs being made and plenty to buy from the locals. You can visit the Angh's (Kings) House that straddles the border. They had all gone to market when visited but we could still wander in and take a look around. The locals are friendly and savvy of the few tourists that make it here. We aslo dropped into the last local gun maker for a look see. He was very accomodating. This is not a place you happen to come by, you have to make the effort to get here and it was worth the effort. Nearby Hongpoi Village is even better!

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.
