Mori Village
Quiet Life in a Tagin Hamlet: Mori Village, specifically the hamlet of Mori Ramme, is a very small, secluded settlement that offers a glimpse into the quiet, traditional agricultural life of the Tagin tribe away from the district headquarters. Located approximately 23 KMS from Daporijo, its small po pulation and remote setting make it a truly untouched location. The main occupation here is agriculture, supplemented by weaving and handicrafts. The village's isolation has helped preserve its traditional chang-ghar architecture and ancient customs, making a visit here a genuine time-warp experience. Surrounded by lush forests and terraced or jhum cultivated fields, the scenery is idyllic and peaceful. Unlike larger, more developed villages, Mori offers a rare opportunity for travelers to observe the indigenous life and the close-knit community structure without the influence of commercialization. It's an excellent stop for those interested in ethnographic study and serene, reflective travel.
