Dimapur has Nagaland's airport and main railway station; Kohima is up in the hills to the south-east. The highway has been widened and the drive usually takes 2.5–3 hours, longer during roadworks or rain.
Indian travellers need a Nagaland Inner Line Permit, which can be applied for online; carry it with photo ID for checks.
Meet & greet at LGBI
Exactly where the driver stands, and what happens when the flight slips.
- 1
At the arrivals exit, name board up
The driver parks in the paid bay at Borjhar and walks in. He does not wait at the kerb, where stopping is not allowed.
- 2
You get his details the night before
Name, photo and vehicle number on WhatsApp the evening before your flight, so you know who you are looking for.
- 3
Delays are tracked, not guessed
Give us the flight number and he adjusts to the live arrival time. A two-hour delay does not mean a missed pickup.
- 4
Night landings go straight up
Flights after 7PM make Shillong around 11PM. The night charge applies and the driver calls your hotel ahead.
Free waiting
60 minutes
Counted from actual landing time, not your scheduled arrival. Beyond that it is billed per hour, and the driver calls before the meter starts.
