Dimapur – the gateway to Nagaland
Dimapur, the entrance to Nagaland, is an attractive area of the Northeast and a must-see tourism destination. Dimapur, with the Dhansiri River on one side and wooden meadows on the other, was the historic capital of the Kachari tribe, whose remnants can still be seen today. That is why there are so many temples and monuments in this area. Apart from archaeologists studying its fascinating past, business tourists flock to the area because of its commercial districts.
