I spent 48 hours with the HEADHUNTERS of NAGALAND | Longwa Village | India - Myanmar
Do you know that there is a village in our country which lies half in India and half in Myanmar? This is Longwa Village of Nagaland and the people here hold citizenship of both India and Myanmar and the famous head hunters of Nagaland live here. Those who belong to the Koniyak Tribe, Koniyak Tribe is considered to be the largest ethnic group of Nagaland, who live in the Mon District of Nagaland and are considered the World's Last Head. Also called hunters and we are going to spend the entire 48 hours with head hunters Once they chop the head they will bring the head back as an honor We are going from Tinsukia in Assam so from there to Sonari and from Sonari straight to Mon District Nagaland We will reach there. If you are coming from Guwahati, then from there you will reach Shivsagar then Sonari and then you will reach Mon District. Longwa Village is inside Mon District. And Mon district is also called The Land of Anghs. Angh means the king here. Just before entering Nagaland, you will
have to make Inner Line Permit from near the gate. If you want, you can also apply online and today you and I will visit India and Myanmar. We will definitely explore this part of Nagaland and will meet the head hunters and listen to their stories. The fun of living in the middle of India and Myanmar
will be different. What's up YT fam? Hello from Nagaland and now we are there in Mon District of Nagaland, there is a very unique place in Nagaland, there is a unique village whose name is Longwa Village and why is that village unique because half part falls in India and half part in Myanmar, so now we go there. We will go and explore and we are going to meet the OG head hunters of Nagaland, we will spend time with them, we have a lot of things planned. Before we leave, let me give you a tour of my home stay. Let's have breakfast and
because there is not just a room here. But there is a kitchen as well here is the rake to keep clothes etc. This table is solid, this furniture and here is the kitchen, do you know what was the best part of living here, let's see for yourself. In low winters, here the sunrise occurs at 5:00 am and the sunset also occurs from hi to pohi guide for the This is the end of the road, ok this is Longwa Village, Longwa Village and it took us 10 minutes to come from the village but the road ends here is the road from Indo Myanmar border to India, the road to India Finally, there is Myanmar behind it, so this village is geographically blessed because half of it is in India and half is in Myanmar, so the citizens here, that is, all these people enjoy the dual citizenships of Myanmar and also of India. Literally we will be walking on the street of Myanmar today or start from here or start from here we will be spending 48 hours Here's where I came to spend only a day so we get to spend time and with the head hunters, it will be fun. will have to give it on the opposite side, you will have to practice right side, you will have to practice a little , but we who are from Basti, we will also have Myanmar's bike inside. Will get it because we
Mithun Skulls, isn't it and the one above is probably the skeleton of a bat isn't it, but oli Maker House and all the jewelery you are seeing here has been made by hand, especially this head hunter's jewelery which is Nas If there are five here that means they have been hunted 5 human heads.This is worth 500 This will probably be more expensive This is bone actually It is not made This is the real bone So now I know that this is the church, is n't it? You are looking behind, this is also half. Half is in Myanmar and half is in India. Right yes yes, that means there is only one church in the entire village and that Church a ha ha so the house of Angh who is the king is also divided, we will see now half India half Myanmar so inside the house also it is the same half India half myanmar boundary come in one line people in Longwa who hold dual citizenship India and Myanmar have maintained this arrangement within the free movement regime while the people here are from the border You can walk approximately 16 kilometers to see this unique place. Tourists come from far and wide, this is the King's House, look at this, half of India is Nagaland and this is half of Myanmar, this is the border going through the middle , now we are inside the king's house, this house you are seeing is very interesting. As I have said outside, this part of the house falls in Nagaland and this part of the house, the other part falls in Myanmar, so it is an imaginary border line that passes right. Through the King's House Just Like the Church, this
is a very interesting thing here and unfortunately the King is not here today, he is busy otherwise we would have introduced you to those who are part of the village, there will be 30 here, what you are seeing. Yes, all these are Mithun's skulls, I think they give it as a gift to the king, right from every village, whoever comes under them, yes, whatever belongs to them, yes, from every village. Like as a you know gift given me an India from yes from both Myanmar and India they give this to the king now working in the king's kitchen If I translate head hunting into Hindi hunting of human heads I was very curious to hear both the stories so finally we are meeting the head hunters, now they will perform folk dance for us then there will be lock drum beating then we will meet them. Will interact OG Head Hunters of Nagaland Konyak Tribe People of Konyak Tribe used to serve under their king and in those times they started head hunting from the age of 15 to 16 years. Well, first time head spare guns and bows and then he also explains like you know before going To the head lock warriors team like an army army and then they will let them go for hunting and then you know they chop the head they will Heaven Face and if they chop the head they will bring the head back as an honor or see like if you don't bring the enemies head then the king What Believe Okay Okay Right Queen Okay So The Queen Would Make A Tattoo After They Have The Head Yes After They So The Head After Yes They Will Not Believe Okay That You Are Head Hunter And Then They Use To Keep The Head In The good okay and there was one more thing okay so this brass heads it it means that he is hunted too if it counts the number of heads or how much the job or and he has been Chance Like Six Number Seven Number Like That Or Okay Okay And This will be gift to the person who likes to chop the five heads ok and this will be given to the person who chop the four heads and then they will change the five heads to him or her and this is I hear this is the tiger tooth, what ever they did they dare damsels like the while but to you the a mountain goat mountain goat horn they are a weapon okay you take it out and you can use it in hunting this is not just for decoration not just for so he also has this is Pohi's kitchen, see how big the kitchen is, water, lunch and have rice. Have potato fry, pepper, dal, everything, but what is called locally, chhako chhako, ha ha, they dry wood on top, dry meat, keep all the items on top and paper makes your condition worse, food is a far away thing, nag a s both people we will now start the trek and go straight to Myanmar, by this route, hi hi the king. The house which we have seen is divided on this side Myanmar on this side
Nagaland so we are on the other side now we are walking freely in Myanmar then you can travel like you can walk around Myanmar and maybe you can walk up to 14 or 16 km in Myanmar because the village where If you can walk till there, then we are right now in Myanmar. Look, whatever is around you, whatever views you are seeing, these hills are all of Myanmar, they are there to go, so long ago. From in Northeast we speak, Assamese Nagmese, Burmese and Anamese all of it is together as Assam till Sonari, then from there the mind starts which is Nagaland and then After Longwa Longwa, Myanmar has come, Nagmese and Assamese are the same, like Nagamese and Assamese, you will be seeing us.
Talking I in this language is quite similar. If I speak in Nagamese, if I speak in assamese, he will understand. If he speaks in Nagmeez, I will understand because both the languages are similar. In case you come to explore, you don't have to worry. jio, airtel
both of them here are Chan Maamar, these are the roads of Myanmar which you can see from the front and these bikes go from there and guns here. It is also legal to write only in Longwa and not in any other part and it is made here, it is also made here, it is made in Myanmar, he is busy above, so we are going from here after working, but yes, guns are made here. Meaning, look at this right now, all these interesting things on this side, on the right, all of them are from our India in Nagaland and this is Myanmar which is here right now, the shop where we went, all these are on this line. Myanmar Standing We are in between India and Myanmar Right Road Divide Road So now we are running in the middle of the imaginary borderline on the right this is near the border Right here in Myanmar We are walking right now na freely we are walking in Myanmar right now yes yes I think we have just come around one and two kilometers only two 3 kilometers came inside Myanmar whereas we can go 16 km in Burma this is the school of Myanmar. Now let's go inside and see that classes are going on. Maybe we will still try the children. students are from both sides ok longwa and mamar Na very nice interesting this is the school there is also a flag of Myanmar on top so they can speak in nagmeez and Burmese na nag books are in Burmese language na all this is maths book of maths yes it is also translated in English above is also in Burmese nice children are reading this house this is this Home, right now we are at the border pillar, it is a very important landmark in Longwa because Myanmar is on this side and the border pillar is on that side. Nagaland i.e. India, where we were just below, Angus House and the Church are here only. Look in this part, yes,
this is the point. The imaginary line which we were watching for so long, half and half, is here. If you come then it becomes a proof. This is the house of our guide. See, the experience of staying at a Naga traditional house is very unique. You will be amazed at the detailing. Nirmala Sita Raman Where is a well OG here making papad Look at the night scene Papa sitting inside the kitchen These people are sitting by the fire It's very cold It's so windy Out bone chilling I know I get sweater also made in Myanmar Yei leke night for us Our dinner are doing, they sit and practice folk sangas . On our making no trip as it's nice we started planning for Northeast so I started planning for the North East . Your name is good to know. If you want to stay in Langwa, I would recommend you to stay here for at least two days and experience this village and its culture. Meet the Konyak Tribes. Meet the Head
Hunters. The OG Head Hunters of Nagaland and its Amazing Village life is so good and this village is especially blessed for geography because half of it is in India and half of it is in India. In Myanmar, I would recommend you that if you come here then you should stay here for at least two days. You can stay only in this Pohi homestay. It
is a very good home. It is a very good homestay. The vibe is very good and the night They also practice folk songs by sitting here with all the local lights, it's amazing and if you go out, it's so windy out here and there is a clear night sky, you can go out and gaze at the stars. It's amazing all night long and because these are the mountains of Myanmar It is quite cold here too, don't underestimate the cold. This is the month of November. Come on, it is cold in Assam, otherwise it probably won't be cold here too, but no, it is quite cold in Longwa, so bring sweaters, jackets, etc. and here. But come and experience Nagaland and as I have said earlier, the hospitality here is top notch, very friendly, the people of Nagaland are very welcoming, so definitely come here, you will love it . It is cold because we are in Border of Myanmar and India, the feeling is very good here, I thought for the whole evening yesterday, here everyone goes to sleep at 8 o'clock, at 8:00 and 8:30 we all go to sleep. And at 5:00 in the morning we all woke up here and after coming here, I have used my phone badly like scrolling on social media etc. I have been very far away from everyone here in this life. I am very evolved
for yesterday and the day after And that was actually good It feels very right to stay away from the phone A home If you see this view as soon as you wake up in the morning, then understand that you are doing something good in life I seriously love what I Do Bhai, see the camera rotating, it was fun, it was most interesting, I felt the door and look at its lock,
