Nagaland's Hornbill Festival and Brahmaputra Expedition

Summary

Nagaland is known as the land of festivals and each December, the Hornbill Festival takes place in Kohima uniting the various Naga tribes for a yearly celebration of the culture and traditions of the region. Famed for its fierce and distinct Naga Warriors, Nagaland is a must-see for travellers in India’s North East. Pandaw is offering a guided tour of this unique annual celebration, combined with a 7 night expedition along the mighty Brahmaputra River. We have 1 special departure sailing on 3 December 2026, the perfect way to experience the once-in-a-lifetime festival and experience North East India with Pandaw. This is a group tour exploring the Hornbill Festival across multiple days before a 7 night Brahmaputra expedition. Transportation to and from the festival site and excursions each day are provided as a group by coach or car but our local guides and vehicles will be on hand to support those who wish to return early. This is a flexible tour which may change depending on specific festival activities at time of visit or group consensus.
