Chuchuyimlang is the village of festivals for the Ao Nagas. The Moatsu festival is seen in full glory here. During this period, the villagers express their friendship towards other villagers by exchanging gifts, making new friendships, renewing old ties and sharing a spirit of camaraderie. The tourist village established here is a showcase of this tradition in the most natural and uncontaminated manner.

There is a Gandhi Ashram in this village which was the first in Nagaland. It was established by Natwar Thakkar.
