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.

The very unique village, Dzuleke village, will be our next stop. The attraction of this village is that it only houses 34 households, and has no mobile network there! A trek to the nearby waterfalls will be a rejuvenation experience.

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!

 

Highlights of the Nagaland Trip:

 

  1. The Heavenly Dzukou Valley Trek (2 Days / 1 Night)
  2. Kohima – The land of Tribes
  3. Kisama Heritage Village – The heart of Nagas culture
  4. Dzuleke – Go back in time to a hidden gem!
  5. A unique experience one wouldn’t get anywhere in India!

  1. Travelers coming from Guwahati can take a train from Guwahati starting at 2 PM to Dimapur, the gateway of Nagaland, from where our team will be arranging a pickup for you to reach the hotel.
  2. And for those travelers coming directly to Dimapur, we will arrange pickup for you at the Dimapur Airport to take you to the hotel.
  3. You will be checked in once you reach the hotel and get settled up.
  4. Dinner will be at a restaurant nearby the hotel, and then we will rest for the day.

  4. Our first destination is going to be Kohima, on the way to which our trip captain/guide will be joining us.

  5. The Kohima Museum, where we will head next, will tell us about the colorful culture of Nagaland and the different tribes that reside there.
  6. Our next stop will be at Dzuleke, which is a 2-hour drive from Kohima, a place that is uncorrupted by invading technologies and industrialization. This peaceful place only has a tiny population consisting of just 34 households!
  7. And this can be felt the moment we step into Dzuleke. The calmness and serenity surround you.
  8. The nature at Dzuleke will take you back in time, a time when the vehicles and horns did not pollute the surroundings, where everything moved slowly, and everything got heard clearly.

  10. If we have time, we could have a small trek to a waterfall and river nearby to enjoy the view and even take a dip if we need.

  4. We will take a walk around the village, taking in the Naga culture as much as possible. We can admire the architectural marvel of the Nagas, like the bamboo pavilions and their idols. The Morungs, which are spaces where the tribal people learn and display their skills, are a sight to watch. They display their arts and crafts and even learn to headhunt there!

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.

The very unique village, Dzuleke village, will be our next stop. The attraction of this village is that it only houses 34 households, and has no mobile network there! A trek to the nearby waterfalls will be a rejuvenation experience.

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!

  1. The Heavenly Dzukou Valley Trek (2 Days / 1 Night)
  2. Kohima – The land of Tribes
  3. Kisama Heritage Village – The heart of Nagas culture
  4. Dzuleke – Go back in time to a hidden gem!
  5. A unique experience one wouldn’t get anywhere in India!

Best Time to Travel to Dzukou:

  2. It is also good in peak winter (Dec and Jan) where extremely chilling temperatures give way to a frozen valley, especially early in the morning.

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.
  3. Oct to mid-Feb (Winter): Clouds give away to clear skies and amazing sunsets. The extreme chill sets into the valley with freezing nights and early morning sunrises. The valley is still very beautiful.
