Start your trip by exploring the breathtaking Dzükou Valley. Famous for its enchanting natural beauty, the valley has plenty of trekking trails to explore. With ample flora and fauna, it's a nature lover's paradise. Don't forget to visit the gentle streams and waterfalls. You can also relax in the huts that are available for camping. It's important to note that the valley is closed during the monsoon season from June to September.
Take a cultural detour during your second day and visit Touphema Village. It's a unique tourist destination that allows visitors to explore the traditions and customs of the Angami Naga tribes. There are plenty of cultural shows, festivals, and fairs to attend. The village also offers homestays so that you can experience the Naga way of life firsthand. Make sure you try their traditional local dishes, which are known for their flavors and spiciness.
If you have an extra day, visit Kohima and explore its markets and War Cemetery. On the other hand, if you have less time, you can skip Touphema Village and spend more time at Dzükou Valley. It's also important to note that the roads in this region can be quite bumpy, so be prepared for a bit of a rough ride. Make sure you wear comfortable clothing and footwear as you might have to trek during your visit to Dzükou Valley. Carry cash with you, as digital modes of payment are not available in Touphema Village.
