Nagaland’s famous Hornbill Festival that lasts for 10 days will be celebrated.
At the picturesque Naga Heritage village, Kisama, from December 1.
The cultural extravaganza is one of India’s most famous festivals –
a true mix of heritage,
culture,
and extraordinary color. 
While we are excited about going to our first Hornbill Festival
(Have you signed up for our budget Hornbill camping tour, yet?),
Nagaland’s commitment to responsible tourism is what makes us truly happy.
