Travel to NagalandFly into Dimapur or take the fast train from Guwahati which leaves daily at 0630; connect to a share taxi in front of the Dimapur train station (₹200) and reach Kohima by lunchtime. Direct buses also run daily between Guwahati and Kohima. The back door into the state is from Sonali in Assam to Monday in the far north east in Nagaland. The advantage here is that Sonali is connected by rail and can be visited overnight and those going far north avoid backtracking and the bus to Monday leaves at 12:00AM from Sonali. Entry formalitiesForeign nationals no longer need a Restricted Area Permit. If flying in, you should register with police at the airport, but even this is not strictly required. In remote areas registering with police (or even phoning and letting them know you've arrived) is advisable. How to get around in NagalandThere are no rail connections in Nagaland so bus/jeep travel is basically your only option unless you are flying. Be aware road conditions can be terrible in some parts of the state and landslides are relatively common; enquire locally about the current conditions of specific routes.
