Tribal troupes lined up in the Kisama arena, Hornbill Festival

Quick answer: Day 1: Dimapur pickup (6:00/10:30 AM), ~3h drive, afternoon at the festival, camp dinner and bonfire. Day 2: full festival day. Day 3: final festival morning, drive back, evening drop.

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

How much free time do we get at the festival? Most of both days. The guide anchors meeting points and evening pickups; you set your own clock.

How much time is spent travelling each day? ~3h on Day 1 and Day 3 only. Festival days are camp↔Kisama hops of minutes.
