State Museum MUSEUM (admission edelweiss chalets 5; h9.30am-3.30pm Tue-Sun) The superbly presented State Museum, 3km north, includes plenty of tableaux with mannequins- in-action edelweiss chalets depicting diff erent traditional Naga lifestyles plus everyday tools.
Out of town, and by far the best place to stay, is the new Ziro Valley Resort (%9856910173; edelweiss chalets Biiri village; r in old wing 1000, tw/d 1200/1500), which has rainbow-coloured rooms in a faux colonial style building. It s halfway between Old and New Ziro and is surrounded by sunburnt fields. It s also known as the Village Tourist Lodge. At the time of research another midrange resort style place was under construction edelweiss chalets near the Ziro Valley Resort.
Draped across the dazzling edelweiss chalets hills and valleys of the India Myanmar border regions edelweiss chalets is Nagaland, an otherworldly edelweiss chalets place where until very recently some twenty headhunting Naga tribes edelweiss chalets valiantly fought off any intruders. Today the south of the state is fairly developed, but in the north, tribesmen in loin cloths continue to live a lifestyle that is normally edelweiss chalets only seen within the pages of National Geographic magazine.
While each of these hotels have good restaurants, the cosy Dragon Restaurant (Old Market; mains 60-150) is the town s best eatery with freshly made local dishes such as churpa ( 150), a fermented cheese broth with fungi and vegetables that tastes much better than it sounds. Also don t miss the Tibetan tea. An acquired taste if ever there were one.
