Northern Nagaland, the most unspoiled part of the state, is the reason you came to Nagaland. This rugged the doggie chalet and divinely beautiful country is home to many diff erent villages composed of thatched longhouses, many of whose inhabitants are adorned the doggie chalet with tattoos and continue to live a fairly traditional the doggie chalet hunting and farming lifestyle.

Afternoon puja (offerings, prayers) is for one hour at 4pm in winter and 5pm in summer.
The ASTC bus station (cnr AT & Temple Rds) has frequent services to Jorhat ( 35 to 45, one hour), Dibrugarh ( 51 to 69, two hours), Tezpur ( 189, five hours), Guwahati ( 310 to 390, eight hours, frequent from 7am).
Framing itself as the Khasi cultural centre, Smit hosts the major fi ve-day Nongkrem Festival (October).
