Details: Peter van Ham and Jamie Saul are held by a curfew in the village of Tobu in 2005 due to a threatening headhunt - one of the many obstacles the explorers encounter on their three expeditions following in the footsteps of the British administrators-cum-explorers J.H. Hutton and J.P. Mills and the Austrian anthropologist Christoph von Furer-Haimendorf. Acessing the remotest villages of the Naga, a Tibeto-Burmese group inhabiting the Northeast of India and the Northwest of Burma (Myanmar), brings to life again the old reports, notes and diaries from the 1920s and '30s, when the situation in these hills was truly life-threatening. At the end of the often long and arduous journeys through the hills, unique experiences await the authors: ritual headhunts, spiritual healings by shamans, mass gatherings with 900 villagers pulling a giant log drum up some of the steepest hills imaginable, villages still full of impressive architectural structures and traditional carvings, all located in magnificent scenery.
