Trekking in Nagaland allows for a breathtaking view of mountainous and river landscapes, lakes and enriching encounters with the mountain dwellers. Everywhere you come across caves, which are explored in the rarest cases, monoliths which are towering over their surroundings and holy places. Interesting rock formations, glittering springs, a kaleidoscope of exotic flowers such as orchids and multicolored rhododendrons characterize the landscape. To date, few people have discovered the beauty of Nagaland by hiking. Trekking and mountain climbing (2500-3841 m above sea level) have pioneering character, and are suitable for all those who are on the lookout for a travel experience off the usual tourist routes.
Also a round tour of the botanically particularly diverse "Valley of Flowers", or the ascent of the 2,600 meters high Glory Peak in the district of Mon are possible, It gives you a majestic view of Mount Everest and Mount Sarmati. In the mountain landscape of Nagaland, an unforgettable experience is expecting you, in an area which is still untouched by tourism; the pleasant climate also offers ideal conditions for cycling enthusiasts.
