What if someone falls sick?

Quick answer: 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.

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

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.

What precautions should travellers take? Layer up for cold nights, keep the WhatsApp line installed, agree ride-back times with the guide, and carry cash, ATMs are thin on the hill.
