Kapamodzü Peak — Attraction in Nagaland

After the rain cleared, we made our way to Kapamodzü, a village that truly seemed to exist on the edge of the world. Its around 3 hours from Jakhama. The sky was a soft grey, and the air carried the chill of the rains. As we arrived, the temperature dropped significantly as it rained , and it felt as though we had stepped into a dream — clouds rolled in, thick and swirling, wrapping around us like a soft, cold blanket. The landscape, bathed in mist, looked ethereal, as though the hills were quietly concealing their secrets. It was surreal, almost as if time itself had slowed down in this peaceful corner of the world. The peacefulness of Kapamodzü was undeniable. It’s a place where nature takes the lead, with fog drifting over terraced fields, dense forests hugging the hills, and a quiet that’s only disturbed by the occasional call of birds or the wind rustling through the trees. It was the kind of place where you could simply stop, close your eyes, and listen — to the sound of the mist, the whispers of the wind, and the heartbeat of the earth. A special mention must go to the only restaurant in the area, where we had the good fortune to eat. Nestled in this remote village, it might seem unassuming at first, but the food was nothing short of heavenly. From the first bite to the last, the flavors were fresh and rich, a true reflection of the region's agricultural bounty. I had heard that food in these hills had a way of touching the soul, and I can confirm — it absolutely did. The warmth of the food was especially welcome in the cool, damp air. Sadly, our plans to stay at the charming cottages there didn’t materialize due to some last-minute hiccups, which remains one of my only regrets from this part of the journey. Those cottages, with their beautiful wooden interiors and views of the mist-laden hills, seemed like the perfect place to fully embrace the quiet. I still dream of that...

Majestic Mount Kapamodzü. It's a tough road up but like they say the best view comes after the hardest climb. Coming from Japfu Phiki we took at least 3 hours. Due to bad roads we parked the car at the foot of the mountain and trekked for an hour or so. The road is only big enough for one vehicle to climb up to the peak one at a time. Driving up is possible but risky. The highlight of the trip would be the various Bible verses written on signs all over the peak. A wonderful reminder of God's grace...
