Dzukou Valley Trek is one of the most famous trekking routes in the northeastern state of Nagaland, India. Here are the details:

  1. Location: Dzukou Valley is situated at the border of the Indian states of Nagaland and Manipur, about 30 kilometers south of the state capital, Kohima. It lies at an altitude of around 2,438 meters above sea level.

  2. Duration: The trek typically takes around 2-3 days to complete, depending on the pace of the trekker and the chosen route.

  3. Difficulty Level: The trek is considered moderate in difficulty. While not extremely challenging, it does involve steep ascents and descents in certain sections, as well as rocky terrain. It's suitable for both novice and experienced trekkers.

  4. Best Time to Visit: The best time to undertake the Dzukou Valley Trek is from October to May. During this period, the weather is generally pleasant with clear skies, making it ideal for trekking.

  5. Route Options:

    • There are two main routes to reach Dzukou Valley: one from the state of Manipur and the other from Nagaland.

    • The Nagaland route typically starts from the base camp at Viswema village, near Kohima, and involves a trek of about 17-18 kilometers to reach Dzukou Valley.

    • The Manipur route usually starts from the foothill village of Zakhama and involves a trek of similar length.

Permit: Trekkers are required to obtain Inner Line Permit (ILP) to enter Nagaland, which can be obtained from the Nagaland House in major Indian cities like Delhi, Kolkata, Guwahati, and Dimapur. Additionally, there might be local permits required which can be arranged through local tour operators or authorities.

  7. Accommodation: Basic accommodation options such as guesthouses and camping sites are available near the Dzukou Valley. However, it's advisable to carry tents and camping equipment as facilities may be limited.

  8. Safety Precautions: Trekkers are advised to travel with a guide, especially if they are unfamiliar with the terrain or local conditions. Weather can change rapidly, so it's important to be prepared for rain or sudden drops in temperature. Additionally, carrying sufficient water, food, and first aid supplies is essential.

  9. Highlights: The trek offers breathtaking panoramic views of the valley, especially during the months of December and January when the entire valley is carpeted with blooming Dzukou lilies, making it a photographer's paradise. The valley is also home to a variety of flora and fauna, including rare species of flowers and birds.
