Chungtia is an Ao Naga village in Nagaland, India. It lies in the Ongpangkong range and is located 16 km north-west of Mokokchung. The Mokokchung-Mariani Highway passes through its eastern corner. It is located at an altitude of 3,362 feet (1,025 m) above sea level.
The suburb of Sabangya and the Aliba village form a continuous settlement area along with Chungtia. According to Edwin W. Clark's accounts, when he first set foot in Mulong village in 1872, Mulong, which was under the protectorate of Chungtia, had to seek permission from the latter for his stay which was promptly allowed by Chungtia. Subsequently, he went on to spread Christianity all over Nagaland.
The cultural festivities of the Ao Naga, Moatsü and Tsüngremong, are celebrated by the villagers.[1]
In the local memory, it enjoys honor as one of the few Ao villages that has never been defeated; even today people from this village recall their head hunting days with pride. Today, the stories of those brave warriors circulate through folk songs, dances, and stories. While you are there, you can also enjoy glimpse of its past while visiting the log drum situated on a hill top.[2][3]
