The Government of Nagaland's horticulture farm, aptly called the Green Park, is a happening hang-out for tourists and locals alike. On the outskirts is the suburb of Chumukedima from where one can take a short trek up the hill to the Naga tourist village and the Seithikima falls. The North East Zonal Cultural Center, the hub for all cultural activities, is a kilometre away from the Airport.
