Hornbill Festival Package 2026
Kisama Heritage Village, near Kohima, Nagaland · 1–10 December, every year
The Hornbill Festival brings all of Nagaland's tribes to the heritage village at Kisama, near Kohima, from 1 to 10 December. The hard part isn't the festival but the logistics: Kohima's rooms sell out, every visitor needs an Inner Line Permit, and Dimapur is three hours away. Our group trip and festival camp handle all of that.

How we'd plan it
- Three or four days at the festival is enough to see the main arena, the tribal morungs and the night bazaar in Kohima.
- Stay in Kohima or at a camp near Kisama; Dimapur is too far to go back and forth each day.
- Add Khonoma village and the Dzukou Valley trek for a five- or six-day trip.
- We file the Nagaland ILP with your booking; keep a copy on your phone for the checkposts.
