Evening orientation meeting with your guide to review trek details and festival schedules.
Tip: Keep walking shoes handy and carry a light daypack for tomorrow's trek.
Kohima Sightseeing & Cultural Immersion
Full day exploring Kohima and nearby cultural sites. Start with the Kisama Heritage Village (Naga Heritage Village) — a curated space showcasing traditional morungs, tribal huts, and performances (subject to festival timings). Visit local craft markets and interact with artisans. Evening free to sample local Naga cuisine such as smoked pork, bamboo shoot dishes and local teas.
Important: If traveling during a major festival, expect larger crowds and an unforgettable cultural showcase.
Transfer to Trek Base — Begin Dzukou Valley Trek
After early breakfast, transfer to the trek base near Viswema/Entry Point. Begin the trek into Dzukou Valley (moderate difficulty; 4–6 hours depending on group pace). Absorb panoramic ridge views, seasonal blooms, and quiet alpine meadows. Reach the valley and set up camp or stay at basic trekking accommodations.
Important: The trek involves narrow ridgelines and variable weather — carry warm layers and waterproofs.
Explore Dzukou Valley — Return to Base & Village Transfer
Spend a full morning exploring the Dzukou Valley: sunrise viewpoints, valley walks, photo stops at Dzukou Lily patches (seasonal), and gentle ridge walks. After lunch, trek back to the trailhead and transfer to a nearby Naga village for an authentic homestay experience. Evening cultural exchange with local families, craft demonstrations, and traditional songs.
Tip: Respect local customs; always ask before photographing people and morungs.
Village Culture Day — Return to Dimapur
Participate in village activities: morning markets, handicraft workshops, morung visits and sample traditional cooking. Midday transfer to Dimapur. En route or in the evening, optional visit to Dimapur Market or local temples and leisure time.
Note: Homestay conditions are basic but rich in cultural value.
Departure from Dimapur — End of Tour
After breakfast, checkout and transfer to Dimapur Airport/Railway Station for your onward journey. Depending on departure time, options include a short visit to local ruins or a final market stop.

Recent North-East Reviews
North-East Itinerary Built Around Our Pace
We had been going back and forth on the North-East for months, unsure where to start. A friend suggested TourGrids and honestly, one call with their team changed everything. They asked the right questions — how many days, whether we wanted offbeat places, our budget — and came back with an itinerary that actually made sense for a couple like us. We tweaked a couple of things over WhatsApp and they adjusted without any fuss. Hotels were proper good, cabs were on time throughout, and there were no surprise charges at the end. The coordinator was reachable the whole time. Planning something this detailed on our own would have taken weeks.
North-East on a Budget, Zero Compromises
I had priced out a North-East trip on my own last year and it was getting complicated fast — different vendors for cabs, hotels scattered across booking sites, no one to call if something went wrong. TourGrids bundled everything into one package and it actually came out cheaper. Traveled with my husband for 8 days covering Meghalaya and Sikkim. Hotels were proper good — clean, well-located, nothing felt like a budget compromise. Meals, cabs, even the permits were sorted. Our coordinator was reachable on WhatsApp throughout and there were no surprise charges at the end. What you see in the quote is what you pay — that alone made it worth it.
North-East Cabs and Stays Both Impressed Us
We did a North-East trip as a couple — Meghalaya, Kaziranga, and Majuli — and honestly the hotels TourGrids picked were proper good. Not just decent, but actually well-located with clean rooms and good breakfast. I was a little skeptical before booking because we had specific preferences, but the coordinator noted everything down on our WhatsApp call and got it right. The cab transfers between destinations were the part I was most worried about, given those roads, but the drivers were punctual and the vehicles were comfortable. No last-minute confusion, no being dropped at the wrong property. Everything was where it was supposed to be, when it was supposed to be.
