Overview

The permanent Naga Heritage complex 12 km from Kohima and the grand stage of the Hornbill Festival, with authentic morungs of all major Naga tribes.

Why visit: See every Naga tribe's architecture and, in December, the Hornbill Festival in full swing.

History: Built as a living museum so each tribe could raise its own traditional house (morung); it became the venue of the state's flagship festival from 2000.
