From Delhi

Hornbill Festival from Delhi

December 1–10 · Kisama Heritage Village, Nagaland

The way this works. Book your own travel to Dimapur, from Delhi, via Delhi, and we take over the moment you land: airport or station pickup, camp stay, all meals, guide, festival passes and permits. The 3D/2N package is ₹4,999 per person, final price, GST included.

By flight

~2h 30m non-stop to Dimapur, non-stop service, book early for December fares.

By train

long-haul trains to Dimapur exist but take 30h+, fly instead Trains reach Dimapur on the Guwahati–Dibrugarh line.

Trip shape

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

Realistic budget from Delhi (per person)

Return travel Delhi → Dimapur₹6,000–₹11,000
Hornbill 3D/2N package (final, GST in)₹4,999
Festival stalls, shopping, extra food₹2,000–₹4,000
All-in from Delhi₹13,000–₹20,000

Fare bands are realistic returns booked 6–8 weeks out; December fares climb as the festival nears. We check live options for your dates on WhatsApp, free.

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.

Delhi has the best direct connectivity to Dimapur among north Indian cities, daily non-stops make a 3–4 day Hornbill weekend genuinely possible.

December is fog season in Delhi: book morning flights, keep a buffer day, and let our Dimapur pickup handle the 3-hour hill drive to Kohima.
