2-Day Village Immersion & Digital Detox
2 Days, 1 Night- 1
Ascent from Kohima, Stone Council Circle & Hearth Dinner
Depart Kohima or Khonoma in the morning for the scenic drive along the Western Angami mountain track to Dzuleke. Arrive by noon and check into your DETB-assigned wooden homestay. Savor an organic lunch featuring Galho and seasonal greens. In the afternoon, take a guided walking tour of the village center: visit the ancient Dahu stone council meeting circle, the Angami Morung pavilion adorned with Mithun horn motifs, and the underground stream zone where the Dzuleke river sinks beneath karst boulders. Spend the evening gathered around the host family's woodfire hearth sharing stories and enjoying a traditional Naga dinner.

Sunrise Birding, Alder Terraces & Departure
Wake at dawn to the calls of mountain pheasants and songbirds. Start with an early morning birdwatching walk along the edge of the community conservation forest looking for Chestnut Buntings and Blyth's Tragopans. After breakfast, visit the lower terraced wet-rice fields to learn about traditional Alder tree agroforestry (*Alnus nepalensis*) and gravity-fed aqueducts from village elders. Depart for Kohima or continue onwards to Khonoma Green Village by midday.
