Insider tip — Wokha Thermal Springs rise in the Lotha Naga territory of central Nagaland, emerging from geothermal seams in the metamorphic basement of the Patkai Range foothills. The sulfurous waters are channeled into simple bathing facilities used by local communities for skin conditions and joint ailments across generations. The surrounding landscape of terraced rice fields and mixed Lotha-Naga settlements represents one of India's most intact hill-tribe agricultural traditions. The nearby Mount Tiyi viewpoint offers panoramic vistas of the Assam plains to the west and the rugged ridgelines of Nagaland extending eastward to Myanmar.
