Nagaland Tour Package With Dzukou Valley Trek Overview

Nagaland, a small mountain state in the far east of the country, is home to many wonders of nature. The state with a colorful culture lies between the mighty Brahmaputra and the giant mountain passes of Myanmar. The Nagas also have a history of defending the country fiercely from the Japanese attack during World War II, for which the state still has memorials around Kohima, the capital city of Nagaland.

Monks on Wheels in association with Muddie Trails brings to you the land of festivals with vibrant and diverse indigenous cultures, where over 16 different tribes reside. It’s the state of Nagaland.

The major attraction of Nagaland is the Dzukou valley, known as the “Valley of Flowers”, where in monsoon blooms the Dzukou lily. Dzukou valley is set in a “mountain wave” structure, where the mountains are spread like waves to distances as far as the naked eye could reach. The setting makes you feel like you have entered a whole new world, like a world from the fairy tales, making you awestruck with its perfection.

Our trip will start with an overnight stay at Dimapur, where travelers coming from Guwahati railway station and Dimapur Airport will be picked up and dropped off. The land of tribes, the capital of Nagaland that is Kohima, will be our first spot of visit. There, we will explore some of the local attractions of the state.

Kisama village, which hosts the famous Hornbill Festival every year, is going to be our next destination. The village will also showcase to us the culture of Nagas in full glory, starting from attire to music, and we could also try the local rice beers and foods in this village.

Without a trek to the Dzukou valley, the Nagaland trip will be incomplete! Here, we will be spending 2 days admiring the most beautiful sights of nature, trekking through rainforests and amidst the dwarf bamboo. We will camp under the sky, adorned with a million stars, treating you to some unforgettable nights. 

Nagaland will surely take up space in the memories that you will cherish forever. So why wait? Join us in exploring this wonder in the North East, Nagaland!

Best Time to Travel to Dzukou:

Seasonal variations:

  1. Mar, Apr (Summer): These are drier months. While the beauty is intact, the experience would be a little underwhelming.
  2. May to Sept (Monsoons): The rains hit the mountains starting from May, and the valley comes alive. Dzukou lilies and Rhododendrons decorate the valley in different colors (especially in June and July). The rains will continue till mid-September, with clouds playing hide and seek.
