Kohima's Mao Market

Kohima's Mao Market, Run Mostly by Women:
Kohima is a slow traveller’s delight. The city moves at a languid pace and there is no sense of urgency and it unfolds gradually as you start walking through the alleys.
A must visit is the Mao Market run by women. 
Kohima definitely stands out by the markets, where the exotic and diverse food supply reflects the originality of Nagaland cuisine that includes a lot of dried fish, eels, snails, worms, mice, frogs… and wasp larvae. Always present is the Naga Chilies 
Fresh produce from the jhum cultivations in the hills -colorful kholar beans native to the land (also known as Naga kidney beans or Naga rajma), fresh and fermented bamboo shoots, a variety of greens, sweet potatoes, king chillies (But Jolakia , considerd the spiciest chili in the world), and more, are abundant in the corner markets.
In Nagaland, traditional salt production primarily comes from natural, saline water springs and small rivers, with the Miki River in Kiphire district (Sangphure village) specifically known as the "River of Salt", sold in round white blocks.
