Frequently Asked Questions

Is one festival day enough on this itinerary?

Most travellers find one full day sufficient alongside Assam. If you prefer two, we swap the Khonoma day for a second Kisama day.

Do I need a permit for Assam?

No. Assam requires no permit. Only Nagaland needs the Inner Line Permit, which is included.

How much driving is involved?

Three long drives — Guwahati–Kaziranga (5 hrs), Kaziranga–Kohima (6 hrs) and Kohima–Dimapur (3 hrs). All in a private vehicle with breaks.
