Nagaland is a hill station waiting to be discovered. True, the creature
comforts of a five star culture may not be much in evidence. This however, need
not be a cause for any concern. The basic hygienic amenities of comfort are
available. Besides, the five star courtesy and hospitality of Nagas more than
makes up for what may seem to be lacking.
When the scorching summer heat gets you down; when the relentless city noise
hits you hard; when the industrial smog stifles your very existence
. Pack
your bags and take a rough and touch vacation to God's very own country
.
Apart from the rich. incomparable traditional and cultural heritage that is
exclusive, it will be a rejuvenating bonus of the cool refreshing mountain air,
and the dreamless sleep amidst the roaring sound of silence : an experience
you will long remember.
