Where to stay for Hornbill Festival
Kohima
Kohima offers a wider range of established accommodation and services. Factor in the daily journey to Kisama, traffic on festival days and whether your stay includes or can arrange local transport.
Plan the return route
Do not treat your room as the whole plan. Confirm your airport or rail connection, final road transfer, late-evening transport and a realistic buffer for mountain roads before buying non-refundable travel.
Book with clarity
Five checks before you pay
- Separate the festival ticket from your stay. Confirm both purchase records and never assume a room includes event admission.
- Confirm the exact location. Ask for the property name, route from Kisama, check-in time and return-transport plan.
- Read the cancellation terms. Festival travel can be affected by weather, roads and schedule changes; understand the written policy before payment.
- Recheck permits and identity rules. Requirements can change, so verify them with current official government sources before travel.
- Travel with respect. Follow host guidance, ask before photographing people or private spaces, and support local food, craft and community businesses thoughtfully.
