Chümoukedima district, Administrative district in Nagaland, India
Chümoukedima district is an administrative area nestled in the foothills of the Naga Hills, with rolling terrain and thick forests. The Chathe River runs through it, creating natural boundaries and connecting to the neighboring Assam region.
This district was created in 2021 after being carved out from Dimapur, following years of local demands for separate administration. The division responded to community needs for better regional governance and representation.
Diezephe Craft Village showcases traditional Naga textiles and handmade arts created by local artisans. You can watch weavers and craftspeople at work in their studios, learning techniques passed down through generations.
You can reach the district via Dimapur Airport for quick access or Shokhüvi railway station for budget travel options. Inside the district, motorcycles and shared taxis are the best way to get around and visit villages and craft centers.
The district houses a specialized economic zone focused on agricultural products and food processing, one of India's few dedicated centers for this purpose. This shows how the region balances traditional crafts with modern farming development.
