Naga Hills

The Naga hills rise between the Brahmaputra basin and the Manipur valley, a landscape of forested ridges cut by steep streams. The western highlands include the Barail range, whose watersheds divide rivers running towards the Brahmaputra from those of the Barak basin. Villages of the Angami people stand among the southern hills, where fields have been shaped into terraces on the slopes. Passes through the ridges connect their country with the valley to the south.
