So here’s the thing about visiting Nagaland. The whole state is a treasure trove of interesting ways to experience nature in its most glorious forms. The R&L team recently visited Wokha District in Nagaland – home of the Lotha Naga tribe, to attend their post-harvest festival ‘Tokhu Emong’, and also witness the arrival of the migratory bird “Amur Falcon.” While we toured the lovely Wokha District, we got a chance to visit Pangti village, where we had a stopover at the enchanting Doyang river for lunch. That’s where we came across “The Woods” cottage by the river, and had one of the most memorial experiences of the trip.

Sitting elegantly by the river bank, “The Woods”, the 2-storey hut gives visitors access to the most peaceful and scenic view of the river Doyang and its surrounding beauty. The good news is, they are open for business, and anyone can come and book a room for just Rs. 300 per night (breakfast and food extra) and enjoy a relaxing time with the unique offerings of the natural landscapes of Nagaland. So here’s all you need to know about the “The Hut” and details on how to get there and contact information to book a spot at this lovely hut! We highly recommend a trip to Doyang river on your next trip to Nagaland!

“The Hut” sits on the river Doyang in Pangti Village, situated about 20km from Wokha, Nagaland. This quaint and cozy little homestay is an ideal spot to unwind after a long day of exploring the scenic surroundings – and then wake up to the most gorgeous view!
