How To Reach Zanibu Peak Trekking Area

Phek, Nagaland, India
A Rugged and Rewarding Trail::The Zanibu Peak Trekking Area encompasses a large, rugged region centered around Mt. Zanibu (Glory Peak is a well-known feature on this massif), offering one of the most fulfilling high-altitude trekking experiences in Nagaland. The peak itself is one of the highest poi nts in the Phek district, standing over 2,400 meters (7,900 ft) above sea level. The trek typically starts from a local village like Dzulake or Thuvopisumi, and the trail is a moderate to challenging climb that winds through thick subtropical and temperate forests. The entire area is part of the broader Dzukou Valley ecosystem, renowned for its stunning, rolling green hills and rich biodiversity. The trail is marked by varied terrain, including steep ascents, rocky sections, and passage through lush, rhododendron-filled woods, rewarding trekkers with 360-degree panoramic views of the entire Naga Hills range upon reaching the summit. This is an important ecological zone, designated as an Important Bird Area (IBA), which highlights its significance for birdwatching and conservation. The journey is an immersion into the pristine wilderness, offering a chance to encounter rare wildlife, including the majestic Blyth's Tragopan pheasant. The trek's difficulty is well compensated by the immense natural beauty and the profound sense of achievement at the top, making it a favorite for serious adventure seekers.

How to Reach

By Air to Dimapur::The nearest airport is Dimapur Airport (DMU) (Approx. 210 KMS to the area). From Dimapur, take a shared taxi to Kohima, and then a further shared or hired vehicle to Phek Town, and finally onward to Dzulake or Thuvopisumi Village.

By Train to Dimapur::The nearest railhead is Dimapur Railway Station. From Dimapur, hire a direct taxi or take the state bus service that connects to the villages near Zanibu Peak's base (via Phek Town).

By Road from Phek Town::The base villages (Dzulake/Thuvopisumi) are approximately 25 KMS from Phek Town and are best reached by hiring a dedicated local jeep or a Tata Sumo taxi. The road quality can be poor.

By Local Transport::Once at the base village, the final stage is completely on foot. Arrange transport back to Phek Town in advance, as return taxis from remote villages are not guaranteed.
