Nagaland is one of India's most culturally distinct states, home to numerous Naga tribes with a proud warrior heritage, living traditions and warm hospitality.
Kohima and around
The hill capital, Kohima, holds the moving WWII War Cemetery and a lively market. Nearby Khonoma, India's first 'green village', showcases sustainable Angami culture and terraced fields.
The Hornbill Festival
Each December, the Hornbill Festival at Kisama brings all major tribes together for ten days of dance, music and ceremony — the single best way to experience Naga culture.
Getting in
Indian nationals need an Inner Line Permit; foreigners register on arrival. Fly or train to Dimapur, then drive up to Kohima.
- ILP required (we arrange it)
- Hornbill Festival: 1–10 December
- Add Khonoma & Dzukou Valley
- Best: October–May
We build Nagaland cultural and festival tours with confirmed stays — request net rates early for December.
