The Ultimate Travelling Camp Kohima Camp, Kohima

The Ultimate Travelling Camp – Kohima Camp

Tented Camps
Kolkata and Eastern India, India

The Ultimate Travelling Camp showcases Kohima Camp, operational for 14 days during the Hornbill Festival in Nagaland. The Hornbill Festival is an annual melange of cultural displays from all 16 tribes of Nagaland, showcasing their rich heritage in this colourful pageant.

Kohima Camp offers high comfort camping in individually designed tents, with en-suite bathrooms, crisp linen and the services of your very own butler.

Why we like The Ultimate Travelling Camp - Kohima Camp

The Ultimate Travelling Camp brings you the perfect combination of a nomadic lifestyle experience with all the super-luxury you could wish for. A great home from home to return to after a day of fun and festivities at the Hornbill Festival.

Facilities

Set amongst six acres of pristine forest with mountain views, this pop-up camping experience feels so far removed from the city buzz of Kohima.

Exclusive glamping at its very best, each tent comes with opulent interiors harking back to colonial times, a four-poster bed and safari-style canvas and camp furniture. Personalised butler service is on call for all your needs. By night sit by the campfires and enjoy the delicious freshly prepared food.

Activities

Experience the Hornbill Festival, one of the most colourful and unusual Indian festivals
Venture into Naga culture on a village walk through the quaint cobbled streets of Jakhama Village
Sample the local rice beer known as khie
Walk through paddy fields and alongside riverbanks stopping at village houses on the way
Visit the village of Khonama, inhabited by the Angami tribe
