Mount Saramati in January

Nagaland’s roof at 3,840m.

Quick answer. Cool and dry. Clear days, cold nights, the hills at their easiest outside December. For Mount Saramati specifically, January is a comfortable month with the usual hill-state caveats.

Why January here

The state’s highest peak on the Myanmar border: a forest trek from Thanamir to the summit ridge.

Mount Saramati (3,840m) is the highest peak in Nagaland, on the border with Myanmar in Kiphire district: the trek runs from Thanamir village through subtropical forest to rhododendron and snow country near the top. It is a genuine multi-day expedition, organised with local guides.
