Later, it was taken over by the Government of Nagaland, and launched in December of 2000 as the ‘Hornbill Festival’.

Things to do

When it comes to the places to see in Kohima for sightseeing, visitors have several options. The price of Kohima tour packages generally includes trips to the main tourist spots in the city. Some of the more well-known spots for tourism in Kohima are as follows:

Kohima War Cemetery

Kohima is home to an immaculately maintained war cemetery that houses the graves of more than 1400 Indian, British, and Allied soldiers who were killed in or near Kohima in the year 1944 as they fought to resist a Japanese invasion of India. This invasion came from the direction of Burma and is considered to be one of the fiercest battles of the Second World War. These used to be the terraced lawns of a bungalow owned by the British Deputy Commissioner, which is now a cemetery. It is said that the most savage of fights took place across the tennis court which is located near the top, where you can see the white marker lines to this day. At the top of the cemetery, you can see a memorial that is dedicated to the more than 900 Sikh and Hindu soldiers who were cremated and not buried after the battle. In the campaign, it is said that this failure of the Japanese where they failed to take Kohima was the turning point. Just above Imphal Road, about 550 m up from the gate of the cemetery, a disabled tank from the battle remains in situ, with a sign that describes its story.

Central Market

Just outside the Kohima Local Ground stadium, off Razhü Junction, is a small but fascinating local market that serves many of the exotic foods of the Naga tribes. This includes a number of delicacies, like mefi (wriggling hornet grubs), snails, silkworms, frogs, snails, crabs in small bamboo baskets, and dried fish, as well as a number of exotic condiments such as dried and fermented bamboo shoots and the fiery Raja chillies.

Naga Heritage Village

Located at a distance of about 12 km from Kohima, the Naga Heritage Village lies along Imphal Road. The village has a representative selection of morungs (dormitories for young people) and traditional Naga houses. It is also the site of the Hornbill Festival.

WWII Museum

The World War II Museum is located in the Kisama Heritage Village which is at a distance of about 10 km from Kohima. This is a well-kept museum that exhibits several war memorabilia from the battles of WWII that were fought in and around Kohima. Forming a major part of Kohima tourism, the museum displays a diverse range of table-top models of battlefields, weaponry, uniforms, and photographs.

State Museum

This is a government museum located about 2 km north of Kohima’s centre. The museum has two floors with galleries that feature different tribal costumes, musical instruments, weapons, jewellery, and sports. The museum offers visitors a great place where they can get acquainted with the different cultures, customs, and crafts of diverse Naga tribes.
