districts, Tamenglong is located along the western boundary of the state. Festivals
Tamenglong is entirely composed of hills, ranges and narrow valleys. The hilltops
and valley sides are dotted with small hamlets, located at strategic points.

and Eocene period. The main rock formations are sandstone, shale, schist. Due
to weak and fragile nature of rocks and high gradient of the hill slopes, landslide
is a common phenomenon in the whole district in rainy season.

buses depart at 6.00 am weekdays (except Sunday) to reach Tamenglong the same
