The Hornbill Festival (first week of December) at Kisama Heritage Village near Kohima is one of India's most extraordinary cultural events โ all 16 Naga tribes perform together in traditional dress, with warrior dances, folk music, and traditional food stalls. Book accommodation in Kohima months in advance for festival week. The WWII cemetery on Garrison Hill, Kohima โ where the British and Indian armies halted the Japanese advance in 1944 โ is hauntingly beautiful.
The Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds) is best seen at sunrise before the crowds โ the 953 latticed windows were designed so royal women could watch street processions without being seen, and in the right light the pink sandstone facade glows. The City Palace complex is still partially occupied by the Jaipur royal family. For jewellery, head to Johari Bazaar where certified gem dealers sell the precious stones Jaipur has been mining for 500 years โ the city is the world capital of gemstone cutting.
๐ฎ๐ณ Nagaland Fun Fact
Nagaland is home to 16 major Naga tribes, each with its own distinct language, costume, and traditions โ tribes that were historically headhunting enemies of each other. The last recorded headhunting raid occurred in 1969. Today over 90% of Nagas are Christian โ the result of American Baptist missionary work in the 19th century โ making it one of the most intensely Christian regions in Asia. The state has no alcohol prohibition but produces no commercial wine.
๐ฎ๐ณ Jaipur Fun Fact
Jaipur was the world's first planned city with a grid layout and zone-based urban design when it was built in 1727 โ 40 years before Washington DC. The entire old city was painted pink in 1876 to welcome Prince Albert (later Edward VII) โ the colour stuck and gave Jaipur its eternal nickname. Jaipur's gem-cutting industry processes over $800 million worth of coloured gemstones annually, with over 25,000 artisans cutting everything from emeralds to rubies.
