Book Outstation, Local & Airport Cabs

Kohima's streets are unlike anywhere else in India — the town climbs and drops along the Naga Hills, and a drive from the War Cemetery on Garrison Hill to the Kigwema junction on NH-2 can take twenty minutes or an hour depending on the day. For visitors here for the Hornbill Festival at Kisama Heritage Village, or for officials and business travellers moving between the Secretariat at Kohima and Dimapur Airport, having a trained chauffeur who knows the hill bends, the one-way loops around Razhu Point, and the evening rush past BOC Gate is worth every rupee. Whether it's a 4 AM pickup for the 4-hour drive down to Dimapur Airport, a wedding party shuttling between Kenuozou and the State Banquet Hall, or a family doing the Kohima–Khonoma–Jakhama loop over a weekend, you get a background-checked driver who has actually driven these gradients in rain, fog, and festival traffic.

Why Choose Us

• Drivers who know the slopes

  Kohima's roads rise sharply from the War Cemetery up to Kenuozou and Aradura — our chauffeurs are locally recruited and used to manual-gear hill starts, not flat-city drivers.

• Dimapur Airport runs

  The 74km NH-2 descent to Dimapur Airport takes 3–4 hours in monsoon landslide season; our drivers plan departure buffers around the Dzükou valley road conditions and the Dimapur–Kohima taxi stand timings.

• Hornbill Festival ready

  During the first week of December, Kisama Heritage Village sees 100,000+ visitors. We block chauffeurs in advance for daily Kisama–Kohima shuttles so you're not stuck at the gate at 9 PM.

• Transparent hill pricing

• Wedding and church logistics

  Naga weddings at Kenuozou Baptist Church or the Kohima Local Ground often involve multiple pickups across Kigwema, Jakhama, and Phesama — we assign a single chauffeur for the whole day to keep it coordinated.

• 24/7 for late-night arrivals

  Flights into Dimapur often land after dark, and the NH-2 drive up to Kohima isn't one to attempt tired. Our chauffeurs handle the night descent regularly and are reachable on WhatsApp throughout.

• Your car or ours

  Bring your own Swift, Bolero, or Innova and pay only for the chauffeur, or hire a TransRentals vehicle — useful if you're flying into Dimapur and don't want to drive the hill road yourself.

Popular Vehicles

• Compact hatchback

  Maruti Swift, Hyundai i20, Tata Altroz

  Best for: Solo travellers and couples doing in-town Kohima errands — narrow lanes around Razhu Point and the Super Market area are easier in a small car.

• Mid-size sedan

  Honda City, Maruti Ciaz, Hyundai Verna

  Best for: Business travel to the Secretariat, Raj Bhavan, or Kohima Science College — comfortable on the NH-2 Dimapur run without being unwieldy on town gradients.

• SUV (2WD)

  Mahindra Bolero, Toyota Innova Crysta, Mahindra XUV700

  Best for: Family groups of 5–7 heading to Kisama for Hornbill or doing the Khonoma–Jakhama village circuit; higher ground clearance helps on the patched stretches past Kigwema.

• SUV (4x4)

  Toyota Fortuner, Mahindra Thar, Isuzu D-Max V-Cross

  Best for: Monsoon and post-monsoon trips on the Kohima–Mokokchung or Kohima–Pfütsero roads where landslide debris and slush are common between June and September.

• Tempo Traveller / Force Urbania

  Force Traveller 12-seater, Force Urbania

  Best for: Wedding parties, church groups, and extended families — one chauffeur moves 12 people between Kenuozou, Aradura, and the Local Ground without a convoy.

Services Offered

• Hourly chauffeur (in-town) — Ideal when you need a driver for 3–4 hours of meetings or shopping.
• Full-day chauffeur (8hr/80km)
• Dimapur Airport transfers — One-way or round-trip on NH-2, roughly 74km and 3–4 hours each way. Chauffeur waits at the arrival gate and handles the hill climb back to Kohima — popular for 4 AM departures.
• Hornbill Festival shuttle — Daily chauffeur service between your Kohima hotel and Kisama Heritage Village during the 1–10 December festival, with flexible evening returns after the cultural performances.
• Wedding and event chauffeur — Dedicated driver for the full day across Kenuozou, Aradura, and the Kohima Local Ground — coordinating multiple pickups for baraat, church service, and reception.
• Outstation chauffeur (Nagaland & beyond) — Multi-day chauffeur for Kohima–Mokokchung, Kohima–Tuensang, or Kohima–Imphal runs, with per-day and per-km pricing agreed before departure.

Tips

• If you're flying into Dimapur, book the chauffeur for the full NH-2 run rather than a taxi at the airport — the 3–4 hour hill drive is safer with a driver who does it daily.
• During Hornbill Festival (1–10 December), leave your Kohima hotel by 8 AM for Kisama — the Kigwema stretch backs up badly after 10 AM.
• From June to September, check NH-2 landslide updates before any Dimapur run; your chauffeur can reroute via Chümoukedima if the main road is blocked.
• For weddings at Kenuozou or the Local Ground, book one chauffeur for the entire day rather than multiple cabs — parking near the church is tight and coordination matters.
• Kohima's town roads are steep and narrow around Razhu Point and PR Hill — a hatchback with a local chauffeur is often quicker than a big SUV for in-town errands.
• If you're doing the Khonoma–Jakhama village circuit, start by 7:30 AM to clear the Kigwema junction before the school buses and return before the evening fog settles.
• Chauffeur-only bookings for your own car are ideal if you're a Kohima resident who'd rather not drive the night descent to Dimapur after a long flight.
• Confirm your driver's number and vehicle details the evening before any 4 AM Dimapur Airport departure — network coverage in parts of Kohima can be patchy early morning.
