If you have heard about the Hornbill festival in Nagaland, you’ll surely be there after reading this post. Every year, the Nagaland Government organizes the Hornbill Festival (Dec 1–10) to give the travelers a glimpse of the naga life and to enthrall them with the fascinating culture and tradition of the 16 different Naga tribes in existence. Let’s see what all can you get out of a 9 day Nagaland plan!
1. HORNBILL MUSIC FESTIVAL
Several artists & bands from different parts of the northeast and the world showcase their talent and sweep the crowd off their feet. As you hear the sound reverberate through the arena, it hypnotically draws you in search for the source. There were 24 bands performing this year. The CM, Mr. Neiphiu Rio said that the 2019 concert is definitely going to be bigger and better! Can’t wait!
2. DANCE WITH THE NAGA TRIBES
At the Kisama heritage village, from the inauguration day to the last day, you will get to see a variety of dance forms-by different tribes and even by people from different states. You will even be welcomed warmly to the traditional huts of the 16 tribes and get to dance with them!
3. HERITAGE STALLS
This fest, without a doubt, is a shoppers paradise! You will get to see and buy artifacts, Home decors, Naga knifes, Naga chillis, wines, thread works etc. This year, there were about 42 stalls that kept everyone engaged for at least half a day.
