Why March here
The 3,000m peak behind Kohima: rhododendron slopes, the Dzükou route over its shoulder.
Japfü is the big peak behind Kohima at about 3,000m: the day-climb through mossy rhododendron forest to the ridge, with views down to the capital and across to Dzükou’s valleys. The famous Dzükou trek crosses its shoulder from the Viswema side.
