Mon Recce for POTM 2011 11/12

Love that the clothes are getting crispy dry in the mountain sun finally. Helsa Cottage is definitely a ‘Getoff’ place. 4 local cottages on the outskirts of Mon village. Have lovely balconies in the huts from where one can see the village activities subsiding – the red Christmas stars come up sporadically in the mountains by 4.30.

Went to Chui and Mon village, both only about 20 mins from the Mon town… Chui Village is where the Chief Angh ( Head ) of the Konyaks stays.. Not much different from the rest of the villages in Nagaland, except that we saw the characteristic Konyak style huts and ofcourse some tattooed old men, who aren’t too gungho about getting themselves clicked – too many tourists have irked the tribe no end.
