Dzukou Valley, Nagaland - Tourist attraction in Viswema - Nagaland, India

A nice place to visit. Though it was raining all the way while coming back we found this place refreshing. The hills are superbly beautiful. The penoramic beauty can be felt only by visit. From the resting point to till the Dzokou valley my both trekmates only clicked photo. Just wow. And the sunset view, the multi coloured clouds, simply awesome. We have gone to the crosspoint in the early morning of the next day, was also a lifetime experience. It is advisable to carry a raincoat while visiting this place. And do carry some foods along with you. You can get foods there at bit costly price but not by your choice. We found our guide friendly and helpful. You can carry a tent and sleeping bags for night stay at Dzokou. But do not carry more weights, carry tge necessary clothes only. Please do visit once it will be a unforgettable journey.

Dzukou Valley: Journey through the enigmatic, magical valley that straddles the borders of Nagaland and Manipur! After 1.5 hours of strenuous ascent from Viswema on a sunny but somewhat cloudy day, the valley slowly began to open up. As we took in the beauty of Dzukou amid the clouds and dazzling sun reflecting into the valley's grassland, we continued to hike for 3 more hours. As we approached the trekkers' hut, we were welcomed by the most spectacular sunset we had seen in a while. It was windy, sunny, and filled with lovely summer clouds. In the heart of this grass valley, light rays fell on the golden ash purplish greens through the white clouds. As we settled into our cottage room at the Dzukou point, the air grew chillier with sunset and the weather grew more overcast. As we sat and talked in front of the bonfire, we began preparing for dinner. The fire undoubtedly kept us warm throughout the evening. The mysterious valley made us reflect and think, as if we went in a state of spirituality, emotions running high. I felt really liberated, as if I could dance around the valley by some magical power that resided on every air of Dzukou, and at the same time felt the soulless lifelessness of Dzokou, it almost makes you scared, at unease. Dzokou, which in the local Angami Mao dialect means "cold water," gets its name from the valley's stream, Kezo L, which the Angami mythologies claim has magical healing properties. The following morning, we continued our exploration of the valley by hiking through the enigmatic grassland in the middle of the clouds that sat on the valley's crown and along the banks of the Kezo L. The afternoon sun was shining through the thicker, heavier clouds, but it was dark. The yellow-green grass was reflecting every valley corner and messing with our eyesight. As the valley's clouds grew darker, the rain got heavier, and thunderous sounds made us feel uneasy, we had to return quickly--within four hours. After the return hike, we stopped at the Trekkers Hut kitchen to prepare our meal and spent a significant amount of time conversing and singing with locals. Around dusk, we headed back to our lodging to get ready for our bonfire, cook some khichri, and relax a little. Because of how mysterious Dzukou is, we are still unsure of how to interpret anything we experienced during the three days we spent hiking and staying in the valley. The second evening, everyone in the group was abnormally quiet, experiencing many various environmental unexplained disturbances, feeling very deeply inside, and dissociating from the people around us. It was almost like being in a trance once more. As soon as the night was over, we hiked back to Kigwema. After a satisfying meal and a good night's sleep, we felt revived and released from the ethereal, enigmatic atmosphere of Dzukou Valley. When we began to discuss our own thoughts of the valley throughout our stay, we discovered that everyone felt the same, strange feeling. Few things were unexplainable, but it was undoubtedly something different. After witnessing the enchanted beauty, which at times might seem soulless, I can say that it is absolutely worthwhile to travel to and explore the spectacular one-of-a-kind valley. In addition to being incredibly beautiful, it was also terrifying. In a paradoxical way, the location was both liberating and unchanging. From a sunny to a cloudy day, the scenery changed. It's an experience I'll definitely repeat at least a few times. I became more interested in the location as a result of the tales, legends, and happenings we learned about the valley when we did some research and inquired around. P.S. The hikers hut is not hygienic, so pack your essentials before going there. If you are hiking from Viswema, a guide is not necessary because the trail is rather straightforward and generally simple. #travelindiagram #nagaland_northeast_india #dzukouvalley #loveeveryday

Must visit place in Nagaland. Highly recommended for Nature Lovers. Serene beauty Went there from Zakhama Side. Easily public transports are accessible from Kohima.

Wonderful trek. A must visit place. I trekked with my 3yr old son.

Five stars for the out of the world experience because of nature's Providence.. I wish the road till the base before the uphill climb was black topped... Maintenance needs to be improved ( if trash bins made of bamboo were provided at different locations around the place, problems of littering to some extent may be minimised)... The dorms need at least basic renovations (the floors need immediate repair, doors & windows need proper latches from inside as well as outside, the thermocol sheets provided need to be replaced, toilets could have been more cleaner, the kitchen floors require some face lift & also drainage around the kitchen... Otherwise, it's heaven on earth- the place.

Dzukou Valley is one of the unique place for trekker. People should visit once in their life time. Breathtaking views are there. If you take 2-3 days just to explore the place is amazing . I came here from Dimapur to Kohima to Visema and from Visema two of us walked almost 4 hours and we spent the night over the roof of the cliff in our tent. We had visited in the month of December . It was challenging . If you take guide it is good , but without guide also you can explore. It is better to carry essential tools like water /bottle/knife/sleeping bag/ tent/ food also . You can get food in the base camp also which will be expensive. Better to start early morning from the Visema or Jakhama point. Tent also you can higher from base camp. You need Courage / good health . Don't throw any plastics over there . Purely natural, Refreshing , beautiful . I just love this place ..do visit

On earth, there is no heaven, but there are pieces of it, and Dzukou is the piece of it You pass through one of the most beautiful valleys in India, dzukou Valley. The trek takes a good 4-5 hrs for an average person, i would suggest to be at your own pace and enjoy the view while you trek, and bring some food and drinks for your energy. When you trekked and stop at a place with a beautiful view to rest your tiredness, the feeling is different in dzukou. I walked for 4-5 hours and lost my strength but when I reached the base camp and I saw the fascinating scenery and all the fatigue disappeared in minutes. Must visit once in life , Dzukou Date : 01/10/2022

God's creation in this world is a wonderful sight. You will forget yourself after coming here. If you want to know what heaven is like, then you definitely have to come here once.
