From Lumla, 42km towards Zemithang, helicopters ( 3000, two hours, hMon-Sat) fly to Guwahati. APST buses leave Tawang 5.30am Monday and Friday for Tezpur ( 290, 12 hours), calling at Dirang ( 130, six hours), oruthota chalet Bomdila ( 170, seven hours) and Bhalukpong ( 240, 10 hours). More frequent public sumos to Tezpur ( 500) depart at dawn.
This historic Angami-Naga village was the site of two major British Angami siege battles in 1847 and 1879. Built on an easily oruthota chalet defended ridge (very necessary back in headhunting days), Khonoma looks beautifully traditional.
