This 3-day couple's getaway features the iconic Kisama Heritage Village, winding roads through Wokha, and romantic walks in the legendary village of Longkhum.

Drive 17km to Longkhum. Famous for the legend of Jina and Etiben (Romeo & Juliet of Nagaland). Walk the stone path through the rhododendrons. Note: As of August 1, 2026, NH-202 between Longkhim and Mangaki remains closed for restoration work due to a washed-away culvert. The district administrations of Tuensang and Longleng have issued fresh travel advisories due to continuing land subsidence, landslides, and unstable road conditions. Heavy vehicles are prohibited along NH-202 at Chainage Km 98 near the IOC Petrol Pump in Tuensang, where the highway has sunk and is completely cut off. The alternate diversion route is also sinking. Light Motor Vehicles (LMVs), ambulances, fire and emergency service vehicles, police vehicles, and other essential emergency vehicles are permitted on the diversion route with strict regulation. Heavy vehicles are directed to arrange transshipment of goods at the ISBT (Chainage Km 87). Travelers to Mokokchung are advised to take alternate routes such as Tuensang-Yangli-Suruhoto-Longsa or Tuensang-Longleng-Changtongya-Mokokchung. Travelers should remain vigilant and check local conditions.
