Complete Northeast Adventure: Ziro, Dzukou & Goecha La Intro | 6 Nights and 7 Days North-East Package

Arrive at Guwahati (Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi Airport) in the morning. Meet your tour representative and begin the scenic drive to Ziro Valley (approx 8–9 hours by road depending on traffic). The route offers changing landscapes from Brahmaputra plains to the rolling hills of Arunachal. Check into your guesthouse or eco-lodge in Ziro.

Evening: Short orientation walk around the local market and a relaxed dinner featuring local cuisine.

Tip: Start early to make the most of daylight; the drive includes a few stops for photos and refreshments.

Full day exploring the Ziro Valley — famous for its rice fields, pine forests, and the unique Apatani tribal culture. Visit Hapoli local market, Apatani tribal villages (such as Hong and Hija), and vantage points for panoramic valley views. Option to visit the nearby Talley Valley (subject to time and permits).

Activities: Guided village walk, cultural interaction with Apatani hosts, photography at rice terraces, sunset at a valley viewpoint.

Important: Respect local customs and always ask before photographing individuals.

Early breakfast and depart Ziro for the Northeast plains and onward to Dimapur / Kohima region (long travel day — expect 9–11 hours including border/stops). Transfer to accommodation near Kohima or the common Dzukou base villages (e.g., Viswema/Nagaland side) and rest after arrival.

Evening: Brief briefing for the Dzukou trek the next day and gear check.

Note: Travel times vary; this day is primarily transit to position you for the Dzukou Valley trek.

Early morning transfer to the trek trailhead. Trek into Dzukou Valley, often called the 'Valley of Flowers' of the Northeast. Enjoy lush meadows, seasonal wildflowers (best in monsoon/post-monsoon), and panoramic ridgelines. Picnic lunch in the valley.

Trek Level: Moderate — 4–6 hours round trip depending on the chosen route and group pace. Return to Kohima/nearby base by evening.

Tip: Carry a light daypack, water, sun protection, and layered clothing; mountain weather changes quickly.

After breakfast, transfer to Dimapur/Guwahati to catch onward transport (flight or private transfer) to Bagdogra Airport / New Jalpaiguri (NJP). From NJP/Bagdogra, drive across scenic roads towards Yuksom / Pelling in West Sikkim (approx 5–7 hours by road depending on route).

Evening: Check into your mountain lodge. Short walk around town and cultural sights such as Pemayangtse Monastery or local markets.

Important: Travel on this day involves inter-state transfers and possible flight/train connections; schedule will be planned to minimize stress.

This day focuses on a Goecha La Intro — a carefully curated, short trek and viewpoint experience to introduce you to the Goecha La region and spectacular views of Mount Kanchenjunga. Options include:

• A guided short trek to a local vantage point/foothill that offers impressive views of Kanchenjunga and surrounding peaks.
• Cultural visit to Yuksom: the historic coronation site of the first Chogyal and local monasteries.

Duration: Half-day to a full-day activity depending on chosen route. Evening at leisure in Yuksom/Pelling.

Note: This package provides an introductory experience. The full Goecha La trek (to high camps and Samiti Lake) requires 8–10+ days and higher acclimatization.

After breakfast, prepare for the return transfer to Bagdogra Airport or NJP Railway Station (allow 5–7 hours). Depending on your onward travel plans, connect to flights/trains to your next destination.

End of the Complete Northeast Adventure. Guests are dropped at the transit hub with memories and photo highlights of Ziro, Dzukou and a peak into the Goecha La region.

Tip: Allow buffer time for mountain traffic; we recommend booking onward travel for late afternoon/evening to avoid rushed connections.
