Blyth’s Tragopan (Tragopanblythii), Hornbill, and hill peacocks are among some of the wildlife attractions in Fakim Wildlife Sanctuary.

Mimi Cave

There is a cave complex at the Mimi village which is a relaxing experience for the visitor. There are four caves at Mimi which lie at a height of 300 to 400 feet. This cave gives shelter to wild animals and bats are plenty in this cave. Though bats frighten people, actually they are harmless. But seeing a horde of bats inside the cave can be a terrifying experience. But still, the cave at Mimi is a wonderful tourist spot in Nagaland. The natural beauty of the cave is more alluring and the bats are not able to dampen that spirit.
