This village considered by many as the last bastion of the Naga warriors in their fight against the British Empire is situated 20 km to the west of Kohima. Once a Naga stronghold, the village tells hundreds of tales of acts of bravery and heroism in wake of attack on the tribe. A traditionally carved gate permits entry to the highest point in the village.

A word of caution here, the frequency of buses to Khonoma is low and it may necessitate hiring of a vehicle to visit the village. The villagers have carved some amazing terraces out of the hills to grow 20 different types of paddy at various elevations.
