From Delhi
Hornbill Festival from Delhi
December 1–10 · Kisama Heritage Village, Nagaland
Quick answer. Fly Delhi → Dimapur non-stop (~2h 30m non-stop to Dimapur). Dimapur is the gateway, from there it's 3 hours by road to the festival at Kisama, and our packages include that pickup, your stay, all meals, permits and festival passes.
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; from the station it's the same 3-hour road to Kohima.
Trip shape
3–4 days minimum (travel + 2 festival days); 6–7 days if you're adding Dzükou, Khonoma or Kaziranga.
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.
