Geography & terrain

Tuli lies in the Mokokchung district of Nagaland at about 500 m, 30 km from Mokokchung and 150 km from Kohima — the river town of the region, its Milak river, the farms and the bridge set on the plains' edge.

History & culture

The town's story runs with the 2000s agriculture era — the river town of the Milak river and the 2000s-era farms of the Ao life, with the town's modern role as the transit stop of the Nagaland circuit and the home of the Milak river and the farm lanes and the 2010s-era bridge; the town's history of the 1980s-era trade and the river walks, gives Tuli its river character.
