From Panipat
Hornbill Festival from Panipat
December 1–10 · Kisama Heritage Village, Nagaland
The way this works. Book your own travel to Dimapur, from Panipat, 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
Fly Panipat → Delhi → Dimapur. The Delhi–Dimapur leg has daily non-stops; book the whole thing as one ticket. From Panipat itself, the practical airport is Delhi.
By train
Long-haul trains toward Delhi, then the Dibrugarh/Guwahati expresses into Dimapur, 30h+. Flying wins for a 3–4 day festival trip.
Trip shape
3–4 days minimum (travel + 2 festival days); 6–7 days if you're adding Dzükou, Khonoma or Kaziranga.
Realistic budget from Panipat (per person)
| Return travel Panipat → Dimapur | ₹6,500–₹11,500 |
| Hornbill 3D/2N package (final, GST in) | ₹4,999 |

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.
