Tummu Village
Tummu Village is a serene border settlement that offers a glimpse into the life of the Tangkhul people living near the international boundary. The village is characterized by its high-altitude location and its proximity to the lush forests of the Indo-Myanmar border. Life in Tummu is deeply connect ed to nature, with the villagers relying on forest produce and subsistence farming. The village is smaller compared to Tolloi but offers a more raw and untouched experience for travelers. The community is known for its bravery and resilience, having lived in a sensitive border zone for generations. Visitors can witness the unique "Border Culture" where local traditions meet the influence of neighboring regions. The air here is exceptionally pure, and the silence of the hills is only broken by the sound of birds and distant mountain streams. It is an ideal spot for those looking to disconnect from the digital world and experience true Himalayan solitude. The village also serves as a starting point for several unmapped trails leading towards the easternmost ridges of Manipur.
