Meluri District
Quick answer. Pochury homeland hill country, Latsam lake, the road toward the Myanmar frontier, one of Nagaland's newest districts.
People & festivals
Pochury call Meluri home, and the district's calendar centres on Yemshe (October). Every tribe also brings its culture to the <a href="/hornbill-festival/">Hornbill Festival</a> each December, the easiest way to meet all of Nagaland’s communities in one trip.
Why travellers come
Meluri became Nagaland's newest district in 2024, carved from southern Phek. Yemshe in October fills Meluri town with Pochury hospitality, one of the Northeast's quietest festival trips.
Getting there
Beyond Phek town on the eastern roads; long drives from Kohima (~200km). See the Nagaland travel guide for the state-level routes and seasons.
