All about the Dzukou Valley Trek Nagaland | Muddie Trails.
Hello Travelers!
Tucked between Brahmaputra valley on one side, and high mountain passes of Myanmar on the other side, Nagaland is a small mountainous state with unique and colorful culture. The Nagas have fiercely defended India from the Japanese army in World War 2. There are many reminiscents in and around Kohima that are very interesting to explore.
Dzukou valley is North East’s very own “Valley of Flowers” famous for its Dzukou lily that grows only in the monsoon season. The spectacular setting of Dzukou valley is almost unbelievable. It can be described as “waves of mountains” spreading as far as eyes can see. It feels like a setting straight out of fairy tales. It makes you wonder, how on Earth such a marvelous creation is plausible.
We will start our journey from Guwahati with an overnight train journey to the gateway of Nagaland called Dimapur, board our private vehicle and head straight to the land of tribes Kohima, which is also the capital town of Nagaland. A day of local attractions in and around the town will make us feel part of the pride of Nagas. We will then head to Kisama to experience the true culture of Nagas ranging from food, attire, music to tasting locally blended rice beer. Then the real experience beckons – trek to The Dzukou valley.
Located at a height of 8000 feet above sea level, this carpet of mountain terrain with dwarf bamboos is a treat to your senses. The valley is abundantly supplied with water by two rivers.
After a tricky initial climb, the only thing one would do for the next 2 days is to just admire the incredible views. A night of Camping in the valley under millions of stars is a sight to behold.
We will end the trip by exploring Dimapur town, tasting local cuisine, and some shopping.
Come, let’s explore the hidden treasure of nature.

Dzukou valley is a monsoon special trek. The best experience would be from June till August when Dzukou Lillis grow and the valley is transformed into a green carpet of mountain waves.
It is also good in peak winter (Dec and Jan) where extremely chilling temperatures give way to a frozen valley
