Frequently Asked Questions
Which days of the festival are best?
1 December (opening ceremony) and the final days are the most spectacular but also the most crowded. Days 4–7 are calmer and better for photography and morung conversations.
Is the Dzükou Valley trek included in the price?
The vehicle to and from Viswema is included. Trail fees, local trek guides and any overnight rest-house charges at the valley are payable directly.
Where will we stay?
In a carefully selected Kohima property for all four nights, so you unpack once and travel out on day trips.
