About Kohima Zoo

Kohima Zoo, situated in Nagaland's hilly capital of Kohima, is a unique biodiversity-conserving habitat in India. Established in 1979, the zoo spans across a lush hilly terrain, covering approximately 176 acres, and is a prime example of how a zoo can be integrated into natural forest areas. The zoo is famed for its state animal, the Mithun, and offers a chance to witness the rare Blyth's tragopan, a pheasant that is the state bird. The zoo's design utilizes the natural contours of the land to create enclosures, providing an experience that echoes wild habitats. Visitors can observe various species of birds, animals, and reptiles while enjoying the scenic vistas of Kohima. Aside from wildlife, the zoo focuses on conservation education, aiming to inform visitors about the diverse wildlife of the region and the importance of preserving ecosystems. The tranquil environment and the panoramic view of the city from the higher elevations of the zoo contribute to its attractiveness as a tourist destination.

Kohima Zoo doesn't exist
This zoo is no more! Visited years back when I was a kid and it was a good small zoo but, not anymore. If you happen to be reading this then your hopes of a zoo visitation were long crushed and eaten away by the spirits of all those wild animals and birds who once lived a short life here on this Kohima Zoo. Please go to Dimapur and visit Dimapur zoo instead.
