Kohima sits on a ridge in the Naga Hills, terraced fields and a war-memorial history distinct from anywhere else in the country, and its travellers are used to Dimapur being the necessary first stop for any long-distance trip since the capital itself has no airport. That pattern holds for Kashmir too, just extended much further west, worth planning as a proper multi-day journey rather than a quick getaway.
Quick Answer: A Kashmir package from Kohima typically runs 6N/7D, starting around ₹25,000 per person. Kohima itself has no airport; drive roughly 1.5 to 2 hours to Dimapur Airport (DMU). From Dimapur, fly to Kolkata or Delhi, then connect to Srinagar (SXR).
