Explore Nagaland - Morungs on display during Hornbill Festival at Kisama heritage village

What are Morungs?
Essentially a boys hostel. In the Naga way of life these huts were the training ground for boys to turn into men.
Although not in use anymore, during the Hornbill Festival (2017-12-01 to 2017-12-10) at Kisama heritage village, each tribe (17 Major tribes) gets to showcase their culture and tradition and take you back in time.

Explore Nagaland - Kohima War Cemetery

A drive to Nagaland and the Hornbill festival is incomplete without a visit to the Kohima War cemetery. Built as a tribute to the fallen soldiers of the second world war in April 1944 after a war between the Allied forces and the Japanese. In 2013, the British National Army Museum voted the Battle of Imphal and Kohima as "Britain's Greatest Battle".

The memorial is right in the heart of Kohima city and happens to be one of the places to visit in Kohima for tourists because of the location and the beauty of the place, where roses bloom in season. There are others who come to pay homage to their family members who were martyrs.
