From Puri
Hornbill Festival from Puri
December 1–10 · Kisama Heritage Village, Nagaland
The way this works. Book your own travel to Dimapur, from Puri, via Kolkata, 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 Puri → Kolkata → Dimapur (or Guwahati). Bookable as one ticket; Kolkata has the deepest Northeast connectivity in India. From Puri itself, the practical airport is Bhubaneswar.
By train
Trains toward Howrah, then the Guwahati–Dibrugarh line into Dimapur, 24–40h total. The overnight stretch is fine; the whole thing is long.
Trip shape
3–4 days minimum (travel + 2 festival days); 6–7 days if you're adding Dzükou, Khonoma or Kaziranga.
Realistic budget from Puri (per person)
| Return travel Puri → Dimapur | ₹5,000–₹9,000 |
| Hornbill 3D/2N package (final, GST in) | ₹4,999 |
| Festival stalls, shopping, extra food | ₹2,000–₹4,000 |
| All-in from Puri | ₹12,000–₹18,000 |
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.
