Overview

How to Reach

Via Flight: Dimapur has a domestic airport and flights are mostly connected through Kolkata. So it is advised if you are planning to reach Dimapur via flight, then you should book the tickets in advance as the prices would rise quite steeply during peak season.

Via Train: Dimapur is the only railway station in Nagaland and it is well-connected to Kolkata, Guwahati, and New Delhi by train. Kamrup Express is the best train to reach Dimapur from Kolkata, and it leaves daily from Howrah station. New Tinsukia Express is also another weekly train that leaves from Howrah station.

Via Road: Dimapur is well-connected by road from Guwahati. So if you are someone who wishes to enjoy long rides through the altitude, then you should definitely take a ride from Guwahati to reach Dimapur which is 280 km in distance.
