Rani Gaidinliu Birthplace

Tamenglong, Manipur, India
Longkao Village is the hallowed birthplace of Rani Gaidinliu, the "Daughter of the Hills" who was given her title by Jawaharlal Nehru. Born here in 1915, she became a symbol of Naga resistance against both the British and the loss of traditional culture. The village serves as a significant memorial site, featuring a museum and monuments dedicated to her life and struggle. It is situated in the remote Tousem sub-division, where the landscape is characterized by high mountains and deep river valleys. The village maintains a strong connection to the Heraka faith and the Rongmei traditions. Visitors can see the site of her ancestral home and interact with people who still uphold her teachings of self-reliance and cultural pride. The journey to Longkao is an adventure in itself, traversing some of the most rugged and beautiful terrain in Northeast India. It is a place of pilgrimage for anyone wishing to understand the soul of the Naga resistance.
