Chungliyimti is a rustic and serene village soaked in folklore and tradition. The village and its adjoining areas remain places of huge interest for anthropological and archaeological studies. For history and culture buffs crossing or staying in Tuensang, this place is a must-see.
The village is a quaint little rural corner in the district with no more than a few hundred residents. But the place is steeped in old history associated with several tribes in the region.
Close to the settled village is an ancient site called the Longterok Stones. These stones occupy a unique place in local folklore because they’re believed to be the origins of several Ao-Naga and Sangtam clans/tribes.

Kejok is a lesser-known village within the confines of Tuensang that has the potential to grow into a popular rural destination for visitors who love rustic landscapes and lifestyles.
One of the prized features of this village is the large swathes of Rhododendron trees growing naturally in the area. Starting from February and extending till late April, these sprawling plantations bloom in three different colors (white, red, and pink) depending on which month you visit.
The village also boasts well-preserved traditional architecture that most visitors find cozy and reflective of traditional tribal life.

Another village worth visiting in this district is Chingmei.
The primary reason this village remains visit-worthy is its community cultivation scenes and harvest seasons, which are noteworthy affairs.
Make sure you time your visit during Chingmei’s millet harvest season, which falls around August. Community efforts towards reviving and sustaining millet cultivation in this village have led to huge harvests in some years which remains an interesting sight for any visitor lucky enough to chance upon the harvest season.

Another village often missed by outsiders is Hakchang village. This quaint but quickly growing village remains nestled on one side of a majestic mountain and partially bound by the Mon-Tuensang highway at its base.
Expect to see cozy village homes and a rustle of settlements that sit along the steeping slopes of the mountain it occupies.
Make sure you visit the “Changsang Mongku”, an archaeological site that carries engaging origin stories of the Chang tribe. For the Chang people, this spot is where the tribe and humanity, in general, originated from, so expect riveting stories of folklore when you visit the location with a knowledgeable local guide.
