Noney

The Emerging Hill District

About the Destination

Discover Noney

Noney (formerly Longmai) is one of Manipur's newest districts, carved out of Tamenglong in 2016. Located along the Ijai River valley, it is predominantly inhabited by Zeliangrong Naga tribes. The district gained attention from the ambitious Manipur–Jiribam rail project. It offers pristine natural beauty, traditional Naga culture, and eco-tourism opportunities far from the tourist trail.
