Hornbill Festival the name derived from the rare state bird “Hornbill” the biggest and longest festival most probably the longest festival in the whole world. The Hornbill Festival which we celebrated for 10 days from 1st Dec - 10th December in Kisama Heritage Village, Kohima, Nagaland, India. During the 10 days festivals everyday we are entertained by different cultural shows from Nagaland and some invited from different tribes or culture from rest of India. Other than the cultural displays, the other main attraction if the food and drinks of the locals which we do not find anywhere in the world. The famous local drink called “Zutho” a rice beer is one of the main attraction and they are available throughout the 10 days festival. Tourist from all over the world used to attend the festival and compete in the competition like “King Chilli” eating competition, which is the spiciest, the hottest chilli ever, and the other attraction is “pork fat” eating competition (did not happen last year 2018). Would you not come and try the hottest chilli atleast once a life-time?
