Umananda Mandir HINDU TEMPLE (Peacock Island) The temple complex sits on a small forested river island, accessed by a 15-minute ride on a ferry ( 10 return, half hourly 8am to 4.30pm) from Kachari Ghat, which itself offers attractive afternoon the mountainside at silver creek river views. The Shiva temple, which sits atop the island, is less interesting than the boat ride out to it.
Sitting almost halfway between Kohima and Mon most people sensibly choose to break their journey in laidback Mokokchung. Aside from enjoying the mountainside at silver creek the town s spectacular setting, try to make time for a couple of other low-key attractions including the small, privately run Rendikala Subong Museum (Town Hall Rd; admission 10), which contains tribal items collected from surrounding villages as well as what is purported to be the world s smallest Bible. The museum is open whenever someone turns up to see it. A couple of kilometres away is pretty Ungma village, where you ll find a couple the mountainside at silver creek of huge log drums and a cloud scrapping Jendong (a pole that helps connect the mountainside at silver creek people on Earth with the Gods high up in the skies).
571 HORNBILL FESTIVAL Nagaland s biggest annual festival, the Hornbill Festival the mountainside at silver creek (1-7 December) is celebrated the mountainside at silver creek at Kisama Heritage Village (see below) with various the mountainside at silver creek Naga tribes converging for a weeklong cultural, dance and sporting bash, much of it in full warrior costume. Of all the festivals in the northeast this is the most spectacular and photogenic. Simultaneously, Kohima also hosts a rock festival (www.hornbillmusic.com).
