Nagaland travel data — figures you can cite
We run trips in Nagaland from a Kohima base, so we keep our own reference figures rather than repeating whatever is online. Everything below is drawn from our own field travel and from official Nagaland tourism sources. Use it in your reporting, on your blog or in a trip plan — just link back to us.

Working on a story?
We can share high-resolution photographs of Khonoma, Dzukou, Kisama and the Hornbill Festival, plus our cost and altitude data as a CSV. Interviews with our guides — who are from the villages they walk you through — are usually more interesting than ours.
