Why November here
The 2,620m tabletop above Zhavame: cosmos fields in autumn, a 360 ridge walk, wooden cabins and sunrise clouds, fourth-highest peak of the state.
Kapamodzü is the tabletop peak above Zhavame village in Phek district: at about 2,620m it ranks among the state’s highest and is widely described as Nagaland’s highest table mountain. The climb from Zhavame takes about an hour by the official guide, with flower slopes opening onto a summit plateau with 360 views toward the Saramati range, Japfü Peak and Kohima’s hills, per the state tourism feature.
