Model answer by Lifestyle Training Centre
Given the fact that international travel can be quite an expensive endeavour, I’ve decided to explore territories within India. I’ve been visiting one place after another, making the most of the diverse cultures and landscapes the country offers.
So far I’ve covered Delhi and Tamil Nadu, ticking off some of the top destinations on my bucket list without a second thought. The next place on my list is none other than Nagaland. I’ve heard incredible things about it, especially from the B.B.C.. What fascinates me the most about Nagaland is its rich history and cultural heritage.
I’ve learned that the people there were once headhunters and warriors, engaged in conflicts that have shaped their traditions. Additionally, the Kohima War Cemetery, which commemorates the sacrifices made during the Second World War, is a place that I’m eager to visit. Another attraction that excites me is Zuko Valley, known for its abundance of flowers and stunning natural beauty. The picturesque landscapes and serenity are what draw many visitors to the region. But it’s not just the nature, it’s the people of Nagaland too.
The Naga tribes embody unique beauty through their diverse culture and traditions. With at least sixteen tribes, each speaking a different language, Nagaland is a tapestry of fascinating stories waiting to be discovered.
I’ve been contemplating this destination for quite some time, and I’m planning to go by next December as they celebrate a major festival every December twelfth. I’m considering taking a flight, even though there are other options like trains. The challenge with trains is the considerable time it takes, at least three days, whereas flights, although indirect, would be more time efficient, taking approximately sixteen to twenty hours. I have many friends from Nagaland who have shared positive feedback, and I’m eagerly looking forward to experiencing it all myself.
