Dzukou Valley Trekking

Get Ready to hear the sounds of Nature. If trekking is ur passion,  this unknown place is only for you.  It is located at the border of the states of Manipur and Nagaland.  The valley,named, Dzukou is so amazing that I can't stop myself to share my experience with you. The small bamboo plants cover the whole valley like a green carpet. The natural beauty is so amazing that it is also called the ' Heaven of Earth'.You can see the hide and seek game of Sun and Clouds on the way of your journey. The main valley is covered with small flowering 

plants which are homes of many small birds. 



The Dzukou valley

How to go: It will be 3nights 2days plan.

1) Take train from Guwahati station to Dimapur 2) Take share taxi (250 Rs.)or bus (100Rs.)from Dimapur station to reach Kohima. 

3) Book a taxi(800Rs-1000Rs) to reach Dzukou valley car point or trek point which is in Vishama villege. U have to trek for minimum 5hrs to reach the Guest House. 

4)you can also take a flight to Dimapur to go. 

My Suggestions: 

1.Don't choose Saturday to start ur journey because Sunday is their holiday. You will be in trouble to find taxi or bus. 

2. If u r planning to reach Kohima by bus then don't waste ur time to reach at the bus stop. It is in Dimapur station but all the seats of bus goes to be reserved when train comes at the station. Don't worry There are lots of bus.  But try to reach earlier. 

3.When you will book a taxi from Kohima make sure that they will reach u at the trek point on the hill.

 U can cook urself. They rent kitchen place and utensils and sells firewood. The 'chula' is also available in the Kitchen.

Camping place

There are lots of place on the main valley if u like camping.

Best time to go

May and June are the best.Though lots of flowers bloom on July and August, there is water and mud everywhere as it is a rainy season. But if u want to see flowers u can select July and August.

My Suggestion
