Kivikhu Community Conservation Area

Kivikhu Community Conservation Area is a community-managed forest reserve located at Kivikhu Village in Zunheboto District, Nagaland. Established and protected by the local Sumi Naga community, it conserves subtropical forest, biodiversity and wildlife habitat in the Satoi and surrounding ranges. The area is notable for community-led conservation, birdlife, and intact forest ecosystems, offering visitors a low-impact nature experience within a traditional Naga village landscape.

Visitors can expect a forested community conservation landscape managed by Kivikhu Village, with subtropical broadleaf forest, trails through village-protected woodland, opportunities for birdwatching and nature observation, and views of surrounding hills of the Satoi range. The setting is rural and undisturbed, with access guided by local community members and basic village-based facilities rather than developed tourism infrastructure.
