Samsing To Kohima

The Hill Queen

In many states of the North-East India you require Inner Line Permit. Specially foreigners need definitely. As our team consisted of all female members we had no problem although at borders of two states police check for permits. Tribals of Nagaland are to be handled carefully. In older times they were un-famous for human head hunting. You can reach Kohima by road from either Dimapur of Jorhat in Assam. Both Dimapur and Jorhat can be reached by air from Kolkata.

AIR : DIMAPUR is the only Airport in Nagaland at the moment. Direct flights connect the airport to Guwahati and Kolkota. RAIL : Dimapur has a railway station on the main line of the North east Frontier Railway. It is well connected to Guwahati, with a number of trains that shuttle between the two stations every day. ROAD : A number of taxis ply from Dimapur to Kohima. Prefer local shared taxi's over these buses. Night buses connect Dimapur and Kohima to Guwahati and Shillong (Meghalaya). A very convenient way for reaching Kohima is to take the train or flight to Dimapur and then rent a taxi to Kohima. The Dimapur taxi stand is adjacent to the Railway Station. Yellow taxis can be hired with other passengers (shared taxi) or exclusive (full taxi). One way fare from Dimapur Station to Kohima will be about 175/- per person for a shared cab.
