It would be an understatement if we said that markets in North East India are fascinating. Besides the fact that they make for great photography subjects, markets have a lot to tell about the food diversity of a place and what the locals eat. The kind of crop and vegetable diversity one gets to see is simply mind boggling.

And if you happen to be in Nagaland then a lot of crazy kind of meats and creepy crawlys as well. The Kohima market is probably the most interesting one of its kind in North East India . Dog meat, frogs, worms and anything else you can imagine. A visit to the market is a must if you are in Kohima, to understand the culture of the people.

Silk worms and Wasp Larve (now that’ interesting )

Now some Silk Works with Crickets and Snails (in the farthest tub)

Eels

Frogs

Yes they do sell vegetables as well

Have you seen a Bandicoot being sold anywhere else
