Dzukou Valley in October
Nagaland, India
Go in October — peak month combines dry trails, clear skies, and green meadows, but expect 8°C nights and pack serious insulation.
Peak crowds

October is Dzukou's finest — monsoon green with post-monsoon clarity. Dry trails, clear skies, stunning valley views.
