Botanical Garden maintained by Forest Dept., Govt of Nagaland. Open on all days except Sundays. Large area but developed area is limited with some herbal gardens, different varieties of roses, indigenous trees, etc and a view point of Kohima town.

No restaurants nearby so better take refreshments...
