Patsho
Spend a day in Patsho (≈1 h road from Tuensang), see the Pou log‑drums and hike nearby hills; overnight only if you arrange local homestay.
Patsho is the largest village in Noklak district, Nagaland, and a cultural hub with Pou (Morung) log‑drums, nearby hills and a river walk. With limited lodging and transport, a single day covers the main sights; longer stays require local homestay planning.
