Hornbill Festival Travel Guide

Why Hornbill is different

Hornbill brings together performances, crafts, food and cultural presentations from across Nagaland. It rewards travellers who arrive with time, curiosity and respect.

Where to stay

Kohima hotels, homestays and selected camps each offer a different balance of comfort, atmosphere and access. Confirm daily transfers to Kisama.

Festival days

Review the programme, arrive early for priority events and keep time for craft areas, food stalls and cultural spaces beyond the main stage.

Responsible behaviour

Ask before photographing people, follow local guidance, avoid intrusive behaviour and support local businesses where possible.
