Why October 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.
