Northeast Odyssey

Nagaland

The vibrant hills of Nagaland are home to some of the most distinct tribes of India. This small state bordering Myanmar to the east became part of the Indian Union as its 16th state in 1963, after a long-standing fight for independence. The capital of the state is the bustling town of Kohima.

Covering a total area of 6401 sq miles, Nagaland’s topography is defined by long stretches of rugged mountains, which arise from the Brahmaputra valley in Assam at a height of 2000 ft. Among its many peaks, the picturesque mount Saramati at an elevation of 12,552 feet is the highest – this is also the location where the Naga Hills merges with the Patkai Hills bordering Myanmar. Shrouded by dense clouds mostly, this region gets a very high amount of rainfall all year round.

This meticulously designed resort is set on 50 acres of wild land that’s being thoughtfully landscaped to be a paradise. It’s probably the first of its kind in the region, going by the sheer size and growing expansion that aims to introduce the concept of experiential hospitality. “Noune,” in Angami dialect means tranquil and serene. And true to its name, Noune Resort transports guests to another world -- midst greenery and a calm pastoral setting with a still water body surrounding the property. Promoted by Naithu Group of Hotel and Resorts, an established Naga chain of hospitality, there are four cottages, and each cottage is an independent unit that can accommodate a family, or a group of friends. The resort is currently on an expansion mode and about 7-8 new cottages are underway to make more rooms for travellers. Floating restaurant in the middle of the lake are some of the new elements that will be added in times to come.

Once here, be rest assured of efficient service that exudes a warm spirit of Naga hospitality at its best. Modern amenities in sync with any good hotels around the world add to your comfort. The location is the USP – it rests among the Patkai mountain ranges of the Naga Hills and overlooks a serene lake. Noune Resort is an ideal destination for de-stressing and rejuvenating stay, supplemented with exciting leisure activities. Go boating, water zorbing and tracking to the surrounding jungle. It sure is a getaway that’s not so far away from the busy commercial hub.

ROOMS

Neatly done-up rooms with plenty of wood work that spell warmth and comfort awaits weary travellers. Cottages come with private balconies and sit-out area for morning cuppa and in the evenings do watch sun set sipping your drink. Wake up to the sight of wild geese floating gracefully across the water. All the rooms open up to a manicured lawn where children can run and play around. Comfort is guaranteed with rooms well appointed and equipped with all basic amenities like televisions, intercoms and coffee makers.

DINING

The in-house restaurant is where guests can kick back and enjoy sumptuous Naga fare. Naga thali with the signature pork/fish/chicken cooked with or without bamboo shoot and a selection of greens and paired with rice, is a typical comfort food that anyone would vouch for. A sprinkling of Indian and Chinese also feature in the menu for those looking for familiar flavours. The restaurant is within the grounds, as well as, a morung (meeting-place in Naga traditional culture) can be accessed to get a taste of the local cuisine - in addition to the continental fare. At the Noune Resort, a promising endeavour still in a fledgling state, a few new projects have already been initiated. This includes the construction of a lounge area that will be catering delicacies from around the world.

EXPERIENCES

A dreamy location in the midst of nature allows visitors to enjoy long nature walks and cycling rounds (available for rent) and even offsite meetings for corporates. Make use of the many lake-related activities offered by the hotel at an additional price. Like any resort, it’s all about the daytime activities. Noune Resort offers fishing, garden games for kids, angling, boating, and roof top deck for private parties, Children Park, and water zorbing. Grab your picnic basket and pitch yourself under those picnic huts and call it a day. And when you want to take it easy, unwind under the cool shades of leafy rubber trees overlooking the lake.

The elegant teak wood furnishings coupled with the beautiful tiled and marble flooringjust add to the aura of the whole place.In addition, each room features a large private balcony that isblessed with views of the waters and the expansive farmlands.

Speaking of farmlands, it is important to note that the property was originally built exclusively for farming and floricultural activities. Since it is a privately owned farmland, all the produce used on the farm is grown locally. This includes the fruits like bananas, mangoes and cheekusand spices like betel nuts, tejpatta(bay leaf) and clove, to list a few. Probably why the food tastes so much more better and fresher here. Do remember to take some local pickles and jams before you leave.
