Kohima Camp

Kohima Camp is a unique concept from The Ultimate Travelling Camp. Set on the hillside in lush rainforest in Nagaland, in remote northeastern India, it’s only open during the Hornbill Festival which usually occurs at the end of November and beginning of December.

The lavish and individually designed canvas tents here feature a plush four-poster bed, colonial-style furnishings and a veranda which is perfect for relaxation. Each tent comes with the added luxury of butler service.

The dining tent offers a la carte meals served indoors or outdoors and uses garden fresh herbs, vegetables and fruits to create an eclectic mix of continental, Indian and regional cuisine.

Never has a luxury camp in India gone further off-the-beaten-track to showcase the authentic hidden side to the country. Embark on a tribal journey and witness the spectacular Hornbill Festival, a celebration of the diverse and fascinating culture of all 16 tribes in Nagaland; visit local villages and immerse yourself in the Naga culture; or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings of the camp.
