Your Northeast India experience continues with a visit to Khonoma, a traditional Naga village known for its distinctive character, natural surroundings and strong community traditions. Away from the crowds of the festival, Khonoma offers a more intimate opportunity to experience village life and discover another side of Nagaland.

From the rivers and spiritual landmarks of Assam to the wildlife of Kaziranga and the hills, villages and cultural celebrations of Nagaland, this journey brings together some of the most distinctive experiences of Northeast India in one thoughtfully planned itinerary.
