Why November here
The remote southeast: Yimkhiung and Sangtam country, and the base for Mount Saramati at Thanamir.
Kiphire is Nagaland’s remote southeast, the district that holds Mount Saramati (3,840m), the state’s highest peak: Yimkhiung and Sangtam villages, the Saramati trek base at Thanamir, and long ridge roads that few travellers ever drive.
What to do
