Kohima at its best
Where and Why Kohima is the Capital State of Nagaland. Named after KEW HI; the plant grown on the hillside, it's a beautiful place to visit. As there isin't much of a choice of hotels its a good idea to Pre-book your hotel room in Kohima. A two hour drive from Dimapur (nearest location to reach Kohima) and I set my foot in Kohima. You will be welcomed by the hotel staff with a peeping hot cup of tea and a light breakfast. Its a martyrs place, so go ahead to see the War Cemetery. Maintained by Commonwealth War Graves Commission , the War Cemetry has the Graves of all those who lost their lives during the two world wars. The whole idea was to create an effect of a serene garden where visitors can feel a sense of peace; something which you will feel as soon as you enter the cemetery. The back head stones laid among the green lawns and the flowery plants next to each headstone made the cemetery look beautiful. Nearby the cemetery is the red roofed Catholic Cathedral on Aradurah Hill. A good place for hiking you will find it an interesting building due to its geometry (everything is perfectly laid down) and its vastness. Supposed to be the largest Cathedral in the North- East its worth taking photographs of this bounty. Walk down the hill, and you will see the Super Market. Hop on to buy some local stuff; especially the shawls. Few hours here and you might feel like juggling. Look around at one side of the road you will find a number of local resturants . Try out one of them if you feel so and order the serve of soup and noodles mixed with rice. Locally made its a famous recepie here. If you are interested in seeing the Nagas and how they live, then take a tour to a true Naga village. Next thing you will see is a VILLAGE of the Angamis warrior tribe who put a stiff resistance to the British Forces in the 19th century. Nothing much seems to change here even after independence as these tribal people still like to spend their lives with year old customs. Take some photographs here. Try to be back to your hotel before 8 pm (The hotels here close the kitchen by 08:30pm). Suggestions
