Our road trip to NAGALAND - INDIA
My cousin and I rented a Royal Enfield in Guwahati in order to ride on the North-East part of the country.
We had a few stop in Assam (Kaziranga National Park), Meghalaya ( Bangladesh border, near Dawki), and Nagaland (Dimapur, Peren village, Benreu village, Khonoma, Kisama and Kohima).
The roads were as expected : bumpy, rocky and muddy.
We have experienced things that I never could have imagined to live once in my life!...
I am so glad to have lived this adventure with my cousin Brice ♥

Top shot of Kohima village
Kohima is the hilly capital of India's north eastern border state of Nagaland which shares its borders with Burma. It lies in Kohima District and is one of the three Nagaland towns with Municipal council status along with Dimapur and Mokokchung.
Kohima is the land of the Angami Naga tribe. The name, Kohima, was officially given by the British as they could not pronounce the Angami name Kewhima or Kewhira (Tenyidie for the land where the flower Kewhi grows). It is called after the wild flowering plant Kewhi, found in the mountains. Earlier, Kohima was also known as Thigoma. Kohima is located south of Kohima District (25.67°N 94.12°E) and has an average elevation of 1261 metres (4137 feet). The town of Kohima is located on the top of a high ridge and the town serpentines along the top of the mountain ranges as is typical of most Naga settlements.
