Getting there
Dimapur to Kapamodzü Peak
About 220km all told: Dimapur to Kohima (74km, about 3h), then the southern highway via Pfutsero to Zhavame. Two days is the honest shape, with Kisama on the way.

The honest notes
Before you go
Hill roads in the Northeast run on daylight and weather: start early, keep buffers, and never plan a tight connection on the same day as a mountain drive. Monsoon (roughly June to September) brings landslide-prone stretches on most hill routes; the dry months move faster.
Fuel and cash up before leaving the big gateway towns, network coverage thins with altitude, and a driver who knows the road is worth more than any vehicle class.
