Why travellers come

Noklak is Nagaland's eastern frontier, created as a district in 2021. The Khiamniungan homeland holds some of the least-visited villages in India; travel here is for expeditions, with local drivers and full buffers.

Getting there

The longest drive in Nagaland, beyond Tuensang and Shamator; buffer days mandatory. See the Nagaland travel guide for the state-level routes and seasons.
