Traditional Naga food?

Dancers in feathered headdresses performing in the Kisama arena

Quick answer: At the morungs and stalls, with our what-to-eat guide and food glossary; camp dinners are homestyle Naga.

Part of the the local experience doubts people send us before booking the Hornbill Festival. Everything below is how the trip actually works when you travel with us.

Village visits and handicrafts? Khonoma and village walks on longer packages and add-on days. Kisama’s stalls are the buying ground; guides steer you to maker-village stalls over airport prices.

What do first-timers often miss? The morung afternoons while everyone camps at the arena stage, the indigenous games, the World War II tunnel walk, sunset from the Kisama gate, and walking Kigwema village at dusk.
