A quiet, deeply moving memorial set on terraced slopes, where rows of marked graves and memorial stones look out over the hills of Kohima. The site feels both peaceful and powerful—its carefully maintained lawns and terraces create an atmosphere of reflection, while the panoramic view reminds visitors how strategic these ridgelines were. Travelers often come not only for history, but also for the calm dignity of the space, where every name and regiment tells a human story of sacrifice.
