Kohima, the state capital of Nagaland, less than three hours drive from Dimapur, is a picturesque hill-station perched at an altitude of 1,495 mt above sea level. It bears the symbolic memorial of the second world war, called the war cemetery. The catholic cathedral at Aradura hill is an important landmark, as it happens to be one of the largest cathedrals in the entire north-east and houses the biggest cross in the country. The cross is made of wood.
