What Makes It Awesome
A beautiful place to hike around, Dzukou Valley straddles the borders of Nagaland and Manipur and is skirted by blue-green rolling hills that kiss the clouds. A first of its kind event, the Dzukou Valley Fest can be your best way to explore this place through camping, trekking, music and adventure-packed activities.
Set between October 19-25, Dzukou Valley Fest can be your best place to start exploring Nagaland and bonding with the communities. With an itinerary to quench every outdoorsy traveller's lust, this fest is all about trekking through the valley, gathering for late night campfire stories and sleeping under the stars. Music nights, hiking, nature walks, photography - this one will make for an experiential trip that you mustn't miss at any cost. If you are lucky you may also be one of the few to see the rare Dzukou rhododendron lily.
An eco-conscious festival that is strict against littering, using plastic and damaging local flora and fauna, this one is a great endeavour towards protecting nature while enjoying it. Still untouched by the touristy crowd, the Dzukou Valley Fest is priced reasonably at just INR 999 (plus taxes) per night, per person. The price of course includes your food, tents, mats and transport facilities, and pick up and drop from the Red Cross Building in Kohima.
