Khonoma Green Village in Nagaland is India’s first green village, celebrated for its sustainable living, eco-tourism practices, and deep-rooted tribal traditions. Nestled about 20 km from Kohima, this picturesque village of the Angami tribe is surrounded by rolling hills, lush forests, and terraced fields that beautifully reflect the harmony between humans and nature. It stands as a shining example of community-led conservation and responsible tourism.
Included in several North East India tour packages, Khonoma offers travelers a rare opportunity to experience the authentic Naga lifestyle and culture. The village’s initiatives in banning hunting, conserving forests, and promoting organic farming have turned it into a model of sustainable living. Traditional houses, vibrant festivals, and warm hospitality create an enriching travel experience, allowing visitors to understand the balance between tradition and ecology that defines Nagaland’s identity.
Entry to Khonoma Green Village requires a compulsory guide fee of ₹500 from the ETMC office. Additionally, a sanitation fee of ₹50 per person applies to non-Naga visitors.
