IRCTC North East Tour Package: Dates and Itinerary
The seven-day tour is scheduled for December 5–11, 2026. It combines cultural sightseeing in Nagaland with wildlife experiences in Assam and visits to important attractions in Guwahati.
Travellers will spend three nights in Kohima, followed by two nights in the Kaziranga area.
The itinerary also includes a visit to Guwahati, where the journey features a dinner cruise on the Brahmaputra River and a visit to the famous Kamakhya Temple.
Experience Kohima and the Hornbill Festival
Kohima is one of the key destinations on this trip, offering visitors an opportunity to experience Nagaland’s cultural heritage.
The itinerary includes a visit to Khonoma village, known for its distinctive local traditions and green surroundings, along with the War Cemetery and the State Museum.
The Hornbill Festival is expected to be a major highlight of the December journey. Organised by the Nagaland government, the festival showcases the state’s diverse tribal communities through traditional food, folk dances, music, handicrafts and cultural performances.
Often described as the Festival of Festivals, the event provides visitors with an opportunity to learn about Nagaland’s traditions and community life in one place.
Travellers planning to attend should check the festival schedule and package arrangements before departure.
Kaziranga Safari and Wildlife Experiences
After Kohima, the tour moves towards Kaziranga National Park in Assam, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its population of the greater one-horned rhinoceros.
The itinerary includes a two-night stay in the Kaziranga area.
The package lists one elephant ride and one jeep safari as part of the planned wildlife experiences.
