The picturesque Kohima War Cemetery, a symbolic memorial commemorating the memories of the men who sacrificed their lives during World War II is a must visit. Steeped in tranquility, it is embellished by two tall crosses against the backdrop of seasonal roses and lush grass. The gentle hill where the cemetery is located is embellished by stone markers with shining bronze plaques, each one commemorating the name of the men who sacrificed their lives.

The Kohima War Cemetery is situated on the battleground of Garrison Hill in Kohima. It is completely terraced and contains 1,420 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War. There are two tall crosses standing at the lowest and highest points of the cemetery overlooking Kohima. The cemetery contains nearly 1,100 British burials, 5 Canadian and 330 Indian burials. There is also an Indian Cremation Memorial, which commemorates 900 Indian Gurkhas who gave their lives in defense of the country.
