The Hornbill Festival is a popular cultural festival celebrated in Northeastern India. It is known as the \u201cFestival of festivals\u201d and represents the cultural diversity of Nagaland’s tribes to encourage inter-cultural relations among them. The festival is held for 10 days from 1st December to 10th December every year and has lots of intimidating activities under its wraps.<\/p>\n

As a travelogue writer, I had the opportunity to attend the first day of the Hornbill Festival during my trip to Kohima. I had already explored the top attractions in Kohima<\/a>, which I shared in my previous post. With lots of excitement, I woke up early in the morning and got ready to attend the festival. After having breakfast at the hotel, we headed out to find a shared taxi that could take us to Kisama village, the venue of the festival. The journey was long but the anticipation of what we would experience at the festival kept us going.<\/p>\n

Consider exploring the Hornbill Festival tour package<\/a> to plan an exceptional tour experience for yourself.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Hornbill Festival is held at the Kisama Heritage village in Kohima, Nagaland.

Shared taxis are also available throughout the day from the Dimapur railway station to Kohima. The shared taxi cost\u00a0 stat from Rs 400 per person and took around 3 hrs.<\/p>\n

On reaching Kisama, we first saw the big ornamented gate of Hornbill Festival. Passing the gate, we encountered young Naga boys and girls, dressed in their colourful traditional attires. They also adorned themselves with their weapons and shields used during wars and hunting. These young boys and girls were representing the various tribes of Nagaland. They were welcoming the guests. The smiles and youthful vigour of this young lot mesmerized the guests and brought zeal of festivity to all.<\/p>\n
