About

What this place is like

Kohima is Nagaland's hill capital—WWII cemetery grounds, Naga Heritage Village (Kisama), and warren-like markets on steep lanes. December's Hornbill Festival transforms Kisama into a showcase of Naga tribes, music, and cuisine. Inner Line Permit required for Indian nationals; process online or on arrival at designated offices.
