The Heritage

Accommodation in the border states of North-East India is expensive as compared to the rest of the country. The Heritage is a lovely budget hotel and is setup in one of the most picturesque areas of Kohima.

Perched atop a hill, this lovely old colonial building is a great place to do a bit of unwinding. The staff are warm and welcoming and really know how to make their guests feel at home. They have also done a great job of ensuring the security. So much so that it’s quite ok to forget a jacket or a little bag outside and rush back to find it still sitting there innocently.

But don’t forget your jacket out for too long as the evenings can get quite chilly, especially in November and December and the bungalow is super airy! Water pressure can also be a bit of an anticlimax but when you look out the window and see the wonderful vistas, it all seems worth it. Please ensure you book well in advance as they have only three rooms albeit done up in an endearing fashion.

Dining

Dinner is quite good but the breakfast, not so much. Although, eating breakfast while getting warmed up by the early morning sun is certainly a winner!
