Nagaland relies primarily on road networks for transportation, as it is a landlocked state. The primary road connection to the rest of India is a national highway that runs from Dimapur through the state capital, Kohima, and continues toward Imphal in Manipur. Additionally, another major road links the town of Mokokchung with Amguri in the neighboring state of Assam.12

While these roads facilitate regional movement, it is important to note that the only rail connection between Nagaland and the rest of the country is a short stretch of the Northeast Frontier Railway that passes through Dimapur from Assam.1
