💡 Travel Tips
💰 Visit during shoulder seasons (October or February) instead of peak Hornbill Festival to enjoy lower hotel rates, fewer crowds, and better value for money while still experiencing pleasant weather.
📅 October to February is ideal for visiting Kohima, with pleasant weather, clear skies, and the spectacular Hornbill Festival in November-December. Avoid monsoon season (June-September) when heavy rains make mountain roads slippery and challenging.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require a visa to visit Kohima as it is within India. However, Nagaland requires Indian tourists to obtain an Inner Line Permit (ILP) from the state government, which can be obtained online or at designated offices.
