Travel Tips Of Zakhama Village
Kigwema, Nagaland, India
Zakhama Village, often grouped with its neighbor Jakhama, is a vibrant and strategically important settlement of the Angami tribe. It is known for its steep terrain and the famous "staircase" route to Dzukou Valley. The village has a deep historical significance, having played a role as a strategic military outpost during the Second World War due to its proximity to the Indo-Myanmar border. The inhabitants are primarily of the Angami tribe, renowned for their bravery and their mastery of terrace cultivation. Walking through Zakhama offers an authentic look at Naga life that remains largely untouched by modern commercialization. The village is characterized by its stone-walled houses, traditional gates, and the meticulous carvings that adorn the homes of the wealthy and the village elders. The community is deeply religious, with the local Baptist church serving as a central social hub. Zakhama is also home to a significant military station, which has integrated into the local landscape over decades. For tourists, the village serves as a more challenging entry point to the Dzukou Valley, featuring a steep climb that tests one's endurance but rewards them with spectacular views much faster than the Viswema route. The local markets are a delight, selling organic produce like Naga King Chili, tree tomatoes, and hand-woven shawls. The village hospitality is legendary; it is not uncommon for visitors to be invited for a cup of traditional tea. Education and sports are highly valued here, with the village producing many local leaders and athletes. The serene environment, combined with the rich cultural fabric, makes Zakhama a must-visit for anyone looking to understand the core values of the Naga people.
