3-star hotels in Kohima
A shortlist of the 3-star hotels in Kohima, from spa retreats on Aradura Hill to guest houses minutes from the centre. It is for travellers who want a comfortable base for the Hornbill Festival, the war cemetery and the Naga Hills without stepping up a class.
Staying in Kohima
Kohima rewards travellers who take it slowly. The central area around the main market and government offices is where shops, restaurants and the war cemetery sit, with taxis and auto-rickshaws available and walking feasible in the middle of town. Aradurah Hill, a quieter spot on the outskirts, has several hotels and views over the surrounding hills, while Dimapur Road is the main approach from Dimapur, about 70 kilometres away.
The hotels on this shortlist are spread across exactly those parts of town. Anamoa Suites by India Trail Nagaland and Hotel Japfu sit closest to the centre, 0.3 km away, and Goroomgo Imchen Guest House Kohima is 0.7 km out on Aradurah Hill. Niraamaya Retreats Aradura Kohima, the top-rated hotel here at 4.3 out of 5, is 1.0 km from the centre, and hotels such as Kohima Camp Nagaland and Goroomgo Native Stories Kohima lie 5.9 to 6.1 km out. Couples and short-break visitors do best near the middle; families have family rooms at Niraamaya and Akim Homestay, while business travellers have the quickest access from the central addresses.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Kohima is connected by road to Dimapur, about 70 kilometres away, which has the nearest airport and railway station.

When to go
Go from October to April, when the weather is cool and dry. The Hornbill Festival, held from 1 to 10 December at Kisama Heritage Village, is a major draw, and accommodation fills around it. Summers are mild, but the monsoon from June to September brings heavy rain and occasional landslides. Winters can be cool, with temperatures sometimes dropping to around 5°C at Kohima's elevation of about 1,500 metres.
