History & culture

The town's story runs with the 2000s tourism era — the Rengma village town of the tribal lanes and the 2000s-era tourism of the Nagaland life, with the town's modern role as the culture stop of the Kohima circuit and the home of the Rengma lanes and the feast halls and the 2010s-era homestays; the town's history of the 1980s-era traditions and the hill walks, gives Tseminyu its Rengma character.
