Khonoma: The Greenest Village of Asia ! How and When to visit ?
Why think of abroad when you have heaven in your country!!
“The world is a book and those do not travel read only a page”- Saint Augustine
Well, I am not a hardcore reader but if the world is a book, I have completed at least the first four pages of it! Traveling is sometimes called a healthy addiction and to be honest, I am addicted to it. Somebody said, “If you are happy or sad, it’s high time to pack your bag”. And I always follow this.
Today I will take you to Khonoma; the greenest village of Asia! So please be seated and fasten your seat belts as we will fly now from your city to the greenery. (Click here to visit Khonoma in Youtube in my channel)

Khonoma is located on a hilltop at around 20 km south-west to Kohima. The village due to its location and strategic settlement and it’s relation to the headhunting, agricultural operations, collection of forest products and their sole dependence on nature has earned the name of “the land of drifting clouds”, “university of nature”, “the shy village” or “the stone village” by its visitors. Upon your entry to the village, you will be welcomed by the traditional gates carrying its own story of past and present, offering the first glimpse of a shy village.
Khonoma consists of three big colonies, called as Khel (Group of clans). They are Merhumia, Thevomia, and Semomia. You will found nearly 3500 people with about 580 households in Khonoma. The morung (boy’s dormitory) is a kind of community hall where the first education for the boys of the village starts. Every morung consists of a sitting place around a big bonfire and a common wooden bed in the interior room. You will be amazed to see the huge bed that carved out from a single tree trunk where 10-15 boys can easily sleep. I am sure you will be in shock after guessing the size of the tree! The funny thing is that any child’s evading morung activities were considered as weak and any men exempting from morung discussion is regarded as henpecked. During festive seasons they would bring their little bamboo cups of rice beer, merrily sitting around the fire, and listening to the aged person about their great ancestors during their headhunting period and their adventurous journeys into the mainland of India to collect salt, necklace, and cowrie shells.

Traditional gates:
You will find seven traditional gates in Khonoma. Like the morung’s, the traditional gates of this village are still well maintained in their original locations. These gates were the only entry points in the past and use to decorate by Mithun head, shield, human head, hornbill feather etc.
Forts:
In Khonoma you will find three khels and their respective forts that regarded as the source of strength and gallantry. When I try to have a look at their history, I have found that all the forthcoming war strategies and positions of the soldiers were discussed inside the forts with total secrecy. Forts also play an important role as the stock house for the warrior shields, machetes, spears, etc. Ok....ok you are scared… right?? Don’t worry! With peace and reconciliation as the prime need, the villages have renovated their forts and today they are using them as tuition centers, library or meeting places.

Out of the seven festivals celebrated by the people of Khonoma, four are considered as the most important. All these festivals are directly related to the agricultural cycle and are observed according to the lunar calendar. The most important festival is the Sekrenyi and it is celebrated in February for ten days. This festival is also known as the festival of purification of males and rejuvenation. So you can note down that to witness Sekrenyi, you have to visit Khonoma in February.
The second most important festival is Thekrenyi celebrated in May announcing the plantation season. In the month of March, the people of Khonoma celebrate Ngonyi for firewood collection, fishing for the women, and hunting for the men. Other main festivals are Liekhwenyi, Tiede, and Suliede. So if you want to witness these colorful festivals, you have to visit Khonoma in the above mentioned months.
Climate:
Khonoma enjoys monsoon with heavy rainfall from June to September. Winter is cold and chilly and starts from November up to February. If you are lucky enough you will be able to witness snowfall in Khonoma. The temperature in summer ranges from 31ÂēC to 16ÂēC whereas in winter it is like 16ÂēC to 4ÂēC.
How to reach:
Dimapur is the hub for Nagaland. If you want to visit any places in Nagaland, you have to come to Dimapur. Dimapur is connected via air and rail from the rest of India. After reaching Dimapur, you can take a cab to Kohima; the capital of Nagaland which will take nearly 3 hours. From Kohima to Khonoma, it’s nearly 20 km but due to the bad road condition, it will take nearly 90 mins to reach.
Entry Formalities-Permits:
Before entering to Nagaland, an entry permit is a must. Domestic tourists have to carry an Inner line permit (ILP) issued by Deputy Resident Commissioner, Nagaland House, Delhi, and Kolkata; Resident Commissioner in Guwahati and Shillong.
Earlier for foreign tourists, restricted area permit (RAP)/ Protected area permit (PAP) was required to enter Nagaland but no longer needed nowadays (except tourists from China and Pakistan). Foreigners have to register their names at the local foreigners’ registration officer (FRO) of the district, they want to visit within 24 hours of their arrival.
