After spending the night in the village surrounded by paddy field hills, we will go for a small drive to Viswema. Just after an odd 10 km from your homestay, we will be making a stop at the ‘Plastic Checkpoint’. Ever heard of it? No! No problem, let me explain. It is sustainable tourism practice. You need to make a cash security deposit for all the plastic you carry in the sensitive area. You get your deposit back if you bring back all the plastic. Isn’t it great!! Beyond the checkpoint, we will travel 10 more kilometres to reach the trek start point. Get ready to trek on a steep ascend trail for a kilometre in the bush bamboo forest. Later, you will trek a slightly easier 4 kilometres trail, up and down Naga hill. Enjoy the lush green ambience of the valley while walking to the homestay.
