Nagaland's Blue Hills
Tribal villages and the misty Naga ridges.
About This Tour
One of the least-ridden corners of India. From Kohima we ride the ridge roads to the green heritage village of Khonoma, the WWII history of the Kohima ridge, and — in December — the colour and music of the Hornbill festival at Kisama. Warm tribal hospitality, misty blue hills, and roads that feel like the very edge of the map.
Highlights
- Kohima's WWII ridge and war cemetery
- The green heritage village of Khonoma
- Naga homestays and hospitality
- The Hornbill festival (early December)
Best Season
Oct–Apr (Hornbill: early Dec)
