Do not go expecting luxury except the valley view, on a good day or at sunset.
You'll have a budget(affordable) worth spending and a story worth sharing from a once in a lifetime experience.
Breathtaking view of the valley, amazing climate and trekking place. Tents and foods are costly. But the stay is amazing. The trek is beautiful, and the way is just awesome. The initial 2km is hard to climb the steps but later the valley trek is cool.
You won't get much food there and no snacks, so pack your bags accordingly.
This guest house is good and there is only one guest house. So it is monopoly here. I will share the prices with you guys. There is no network connection and no electricity here. It means you are totally disconnected with outside world. Both veg and non-veg meals are available here. But veg meal includes only rice, dal and aloo dish.
There are dormitory houses. I am sharing their prices as well. You will get a mat and blanket here. You won't get beds here, so sleep on the floor.
We had visited Dzukou Valley at 19-21 Feb 2023. They won't give water in toilet. You need to get it from tanks which are at some distance (a few) from house. From this place you need to trek for about 40-50 min. downwards to reach to valley. Again there is a helipad just some distance away on the way to the valley.

Very nice place to stay at very cheap price. You can also stay in private cottage that will cost you around 1500 bucks. You can take your own tent or you can borrow from the dormatery for some amount. It was an amazing experience. Beautiful trekkers hut with the smiling staffs. The valley view, night sky and simple tasty food - overall amazing experience. You can also rent mat and blanket here.
The way to guest house is very long and tiring.
The prices here are directly double. Though they are equipped with washrooms the hygiene features are bit poor although there is a running water system. Which helps a lot.
The kitchens are around 4 where u can light up ur own fire and cook food. The total experience was good.
I took dormatory that was ok they are charging for each and everything only water is free of cost else everything you have to pay if you are planning then I suggest you to carry what you can for your safety and also I am happy with then atleat they are providing this but they are rude with the boys for girls they are ok.
Amazing place and location. One of the best and tough treks to do during monsoon season. The view cannot be explained in words. Amazing location and experiences.
But I should also write about certain things which I didn't like so much. I know the place is remote and the vibe is very different, but since they're charging tourists money so we expect certain things.
1. Toilets - Pls clean the toilets, if needed charge people more money for usage but atleast it should be decent. I'm not expecting 5 star facilities but a clean toilet will make the experience a lot better
2. Food - the kitchen and the staff were helpful to an extent but I guess food service can be made available to all the residents to stay there. Also the food seems to get over without feeding all the guests.
3. Drinking water - Stop throwing garbage and random things in the water tank. This goes for all the guests and the people who work there.
Hopefully I'll visit Dzuko soon and see more positive changes.
Place is awesome. The best time to visit this place is from July to September. The whole valley blooms with variety of flowers during this period.
The climate may change anytime so you must carry necessary items while you trek over the valley.
