About the Event

The North-East of India is one the last frontiers in tourism - raw, virgin and mostly untouched. This is where societies live like they have for centuries - especially their tribes with facial and body tattoos, unique dressing, festivals, culture and habitats.


But it is all going away as changes sweep in. There are not too many opportunities left to see this rich human heritage - and that is what makes the Hornbill Festival in state capital Kohima so significant. All major tribes come together to show their lifestyle and culture to the world - it is an event not to be missed by those who care about all that is rich and beautiful on this planet.


Kunzum has made special arrangements for select participants to attend the Hornbill Festival and also to live in and visit some of the villages and countryside around Kohima.

What is Kunzum Travel Truck?
The Kunzum Travel Café opened its doors to the world on June 12, 2010 – it has since become synonymous with the idea of a traveller community.
As Brand Kunzum, established earlier in 2007, completes a decade, we have introduced an idea that promises to be another game changer – we call it the Kunzum Travel Truck. Very simply, it is recreating the café on wheels. People would no longer just talk travel, but head out together too.
On journeys curated by experts. In vans that make travel fun and engaging – comfortable push back seats, unlimited bar, WiFi on board, funky interiors, LED screens, music systems and more. Trips have been scheduled every week taking you to places you may not have considered on your own. With service standards that will delight you.
In other words, the Kunzum Travel Truck would be the destination in itself. Where you will make new friends too. Hop aboard – book a journey at http://kunzum.com.
Want to book a truck for your family, friends, alumni and office colleagues? We all like to head out with our private groups – why not do it in style in a Kunzum Travel Truck? We can suggest itineraries and you can express your preferences. Leave the rest to us – we will handle all research, curation, bookings and organisation of the trip.
