Nagaland Tour with Longwa Village

Most visitors experience Nagaland through the famous Hornbill Festival near Kohima. While the festival offers a wonderful introduction to the state's culture and traditions, there is much more to Nagaland beyond Kisama Heritage Village and the western hills.

Our Nagaland Tour with Longwa Village builds upon the classic Hornbill Festival experience and takes you deeper into the cultural heartland of the state. Along with Kohima, Khonoma and Dzuleke, this itinerary travels eastwards through the tribal regions of Mokokchung and Mon, offering a rare opportunity to experience the diversity of Nagaland's landscapes, communities and traditions.

The highlight of the journey is Longwa Village, one of the most fascinating villages in India, where the international border between India and Myanmar passes through the village itself. Home to the legendary Konyak tribe, Longwa offers a glimpse into a way of life that remains deeply connected to tribal heritage and customs.

Timed around the Hornbill Festival, this itinerary combines Nagaland's most celebrated cultural event with its most iconic villages, making it one of the most comprehensive ways to experience the state.

The town is known for its warm hospitality, vibrant local culture and traditional villages such as Ungma, believed to be one of the oldest Ao settlements. Whether you're strolling through the town, interacting with the locals or enjoying the scenic surroundings, Mokokchung provides a deeper understanding of Nagaland's rich cultural diversity before continuing your journey towards Longwa.
