Rail runs via Delhi or Howrah, 36h+. Flying wins.

Trip shape

3–4 days minimum (travel + 2 festival days); 6–7 days if you're adding Dzükou, Khonoma or Kaziranga.

Arrival timing

Pickup batches leave Dimapur at 6:00 AM or 10:30 AM (airport and railway station both). Land by the evening before and we add a night near the station, or land by ~10:00 AM on Day 1 and go straight up the hill. Later than that and you miss the first festival afternoon.
