Tour Plan

Day 01 DIMAPUR - KOHIMA, NAGALAND

Arrived at the airport in Dimapur and drove the 90 km (about three hours) to Kohima. Upon arrival, check into the hotel for three nights. Spend the night at the hotel. The capital of business in Nagaland is Dimapur. The Kachari Kingdom's former capital was Dimapur, which is located along the Dhansiri River. There are still visible fragments of stone pillars and other stone decorations. The capital of Nagaland, Kohima, is proudly located in the south at a height of 1444 metres above sea level. With the State of Assam on the west, the Wokha district on the north, the Zunheboto and Phek districts on the east, and the State of Assam on the south, Kohima has the benefit of being centrally positioned. The advantage of Kohima's central location is that it is bordered by the States of Manipur on the south, the State of Assam on the east, the Zunheboto and Phek districts on the west, and the State of Assam on the north. The Kohima District is mostly populated by the Angami, Rengma, and Zeliangrong groups.

Day 02 KOHIMA- HORNBILL FESTIVAL, NAGALAND

After breakfast, we make the 12-kilometer, 30-minute trip to the Kisama Heritage Complex, where we spend the entire day taking in the ambience of the Hornbill Festival and watching the many tribal performances. Enjoy cultural dances from all 16 major tribes, war dances from all 16 major tribes, folk songs, indigenous games, music (including a rock beat competition in the evening), fashion shows (both traditional and modern), handicrafts and looming, local cuisines, and local beverages (Zutho and Thutshe), among other things. You might choose to visit Jakhama or Kigwema, two Angami tribe villages, in the afternoon. Experience the Night Bazaar in the evening. In the motel for the night.

The Angami tribes, which are further divided into various clans, make up the majority of the residents of the Jakhama and Kigwema villages, which are located on the southern Angami belt. The villages, which are situated on the summit of a mountain with breathtaking natural views of the surrounding villages, are about 20 kilometres south of Kohima. This community has a charming appearance due to the terraced paddy fields that surround it entirely. Every community has a distinctive entrance gate. The typical Angami residences can be seen throughout the hamlet, some of them are magnificent and exhibit the people' riches in a conventional manner. One can connect with the local tribes, tour the village, and get their outfit personalised here.

Day 03 KOHIMA - HORNBILL FESTIVAL, NAGALAND

After breakfast, take in the Hornbill Festival. You can choose to visit the Khonoma village of the Angami tribe in the afternoon. Experience the Night Bazaar in the evening. In the motel for the night. Village of Khonoma: Khonoma village lies 20 kilometres west of Kohima. The village, which the locals call "Khwünoria," is surrounded by hills that reach heights of up to 9000 feet and is thought to be around 700 years old. The Naga warriors' final defence against the British in 1879 took place here. The indigenous plant known as "Khüno" that grows there gave the village its name. This area is home to many alder trees (Alnus Nepalensis), and Khonoma is renowned for its jhum management. It has established itself as the Eco-Tourism Model Village thanks to its motto, "Green Khonoma." Every home must have a trash can, according to the village council. During a sanitation campaign that takes place once a month, the trash from the neighbourhood is burned. The leftover material, including the ashes, is utilised as manure. The Khonoma environment is a great contender for eco-tourism because of its stunning terrain and abundant biodiversity.

Day 04 KOHIMA - KAZIRANGA, ASSAM
