A very strenuous day. We walked through KHONOMA village, down an interminable flight of extremely irregular stone steps into the valley; across the terraced paddy-fields, very rough & slippery going; sometimes wading along irrigation-streams ankle-deep. Crossed a light bamboo bridge over a stream & crawled up a very steep & rough mountain-side to MOZEMA village (3.5 miles). A good-sized, scattered Angami village. I photo'd one of the village doors. The village resembled other typical Angami villages, & lies along a ridge. There are many elaborate sitting- out places, some with trilithon |
