Tour Overview
This 5 Days Kohima and Dzükoü Valley Tour combines Nagaland’s capital with one of the region’s best-known trekking landscapes. The journey begins in Dimapur, includes time for Kohima sightseeing, and then continues into the Dzükoü Valley for an overnight trekking experience before returning to Kohima.
The itinerary is suitable for travellers searching for a Dzükoü Valley trek, Kohima trekking tour or a 5 days Nagaland itinerary. It is designed for active travellers who want to combine cultural sightseeing with a short mountain trek rather than a purely road-based Nagaland tour.
The Dzükoü Valley section is a trekking experience and should only be attempted with suitable footwear, weather-appropriate clothing and a realistic level of fitness.
Trail conditions can change because of rain, mud, fog or seasonal weather. Walking time and route should remain flexible and follow current local guidance.
Wildflowers, clear mountain views and specific seasonal scenery depend on the time of year and weather and should never be guaranteed.
Entry and travel permit requirements in Nagaland can vary by nationality and current government regulations. Required permits should be checked before confirming travel.
Tour Highlights:
- Private transfer from Dimapur to Kohima.
- Explore selected historical and cultural attractions in Kohima.
- Trek into Dzükoü Valley with local guidance where arranged.
- Experience an overnight stay in or near the valley area.
- Return to Kohima after the trek.
- Complete the tour in Dimapur on Day 5.
