Kohima village:
Kohima village, also known as Bara Basti is considered as the second largest village in Asia. It is also one of the most densely populated villages in the continent. Legend narrates that the village was set up by a man called Whinuo Kewhira. Kohima village is grouped into 4 khels namely Dapfutsuma, Lhisema, Pfuchatsuma and Tsutsonuoma. Several clans are brought together within the village community by the institution called 'khel' which governs the entire village. The membership of a khel depends on two aspects - birth or heredity. The ancient Kohima village was believed to possess 7 lakes along with 7 gateways. The main entrance of the village is set with a traditional wooden gate carved in traditional Naga art and decorated with horns of gayal (mithun) reflecting the glory of the ancestors of the village.

Khonoma Green Village:
Khonoma village is the homeland of the Angami tribe. This 700 year old village also referred to as 'Khwunoria' by the inhabitants holds a historical record of a brave resistance made by the Naga warriors against the British in 1879 AD. The presence of a fort called 'Kuda', meaning "a place of defense" is a unique feature of this village. The villagers practice terrace farming of Alder trees which exhibits their skill in management of terraced cultivation. This farming fixes nitrogen in the soil which controls soil erosion.
