Kohima Weekend Tour | Short Trip To Kohima

OVERVIEW- A combination of natural and ethnic beauty, and still ruled by the warriors of the Naga tribe, Kohima, the capital city of Nagaland is a town with a calm and relaxing environment. Kohima was built by the British and is home to the Naga and Kulkis tribe who can amaze one with their independence and a mystical and colorful culture that surrounds them. Kohima finds its place in history as the site of an intense fight with the Japanese, a part of a 64 day long battle during the World War II. The original inhabitants of the place are the Angami Nagas and Rengma Nagas. But in recent times, people from other regions and states have also settled here. The region consists of 16 principal tribes who form the Naga Tribes.
