Mon district

Located in northeastern India, Mon district spans across hills at 897 meters elevation, containing 112 villages and multiple rivers including Dikhu and Tapi.

The district separated from Tuensang in 1973, following its earlier status as a subdivision of the North-East Frontier Agency established in 1952.

The Konyak tribe, known for their traditional facial tattoos, maintains a social structure led by hereditary chiefs called Anghs who manage village administration.

The district contains 21 government schools and 3 private institutions, with administrative offices located in Mon town, Tizit, Tobu, Aboi, and Naginimora.

Lungwa village straddles the India-Myanmar border, allowing views of both the Brahmaputra and Chindwin rivers from the elevated Veda Peak.
