Nagaland Permit Guide for Travellers

Nagaland has straightforward entry requirements, but it's worth knowing them before you plan, especially for the Hornbill Festival.

Indian nationals

Indians need an Inner Line Permit (ILP), which can often be obtained online or on arrival — and which TripTrix arranges for you.

Foreign nationals

Foreigners no longer need a PAP for most of Nagaland but must register with the authorities on arrival; a local operator makes this seamless.

Festival season note

During the December Hornbill Festival, arranging permits and stays early is essential due to high demand.

  • Indians: Inner Line Permit
  • Foreigners: registration on arrival
  • Book early for December
  • We handle all formalities
