Dimapur in December

The gateway city: airport, rail and the Kachari ruins.

Quick answer. Festival month. Cold nights, clear days, and the whole state points at Kisama. For Dimapur specifically, December is a comfortable month with the usual hill-state caveats.

Why December here

Where every Nagaland trip starts: the airport, the railway, the markets and medieval Kachari monuments.

Dimapur is Nagaland’s gateway: the state’s only airport and railway station sit here on the plains, and the road to Kohima climbs 74km from the city. The name’s own history is the Kachari kingdom’s: medieval brick monoliths and gate ruins stand inside the modern city.

What to do

Kachari ruins

The medieval mushroom pillars and gate of the Kachari kingdom.

Super Market

The sprawling bazaar that feeds the hills.

Elsewhere in Nagaland in December
