Guide · 2 min read
Is a guide with the group throughout? 24/7 contact?
Quick answer: Yes and yes. The guide stays through festival days, transfers and camp; the WhatsApp line you book on is the emergency line, and camp staff are on site every night.

What if someone falls sick? The guide coordinates care, basic first aid travels with the group, and Kohima’s hospitals are 30–40 minutes from the Kisama side on festival-week roads.
Hornbill for solo travellers and women alone? One of the best solo festivals in India. Typically half of every departure arrives solo, and festival week is policed, camp-centred and social.
