Dzukou Valley

The valley that blooms out of the clouds.

Overview

Straddling the Nagaland–Manipur border behind Kohima, the Dzukou Valley is a rolling emerald expanse famous for its seasonal wildflowers, gentle streams and otherworldly light — a trekker's dream.

A TripTrix Dzukou trip is a rewarding 2-day hike with an overnight in the valley's rest huts, easily combined with Kohima's culture and history.
