Wokha is a district in western Nagaland, in northeastern India, with its headquarters in Wokha town. Known for its green hills, agricultural landscapes and strong Lotha Naga heritage, the district includes settlements across upland areas and the Doyang River valley.
The Lotha community shapes much of Wokha’s cultural life, with village institutions, churches and festivals such as Tokhu Emong playing important roles. Agriculture supports many households, alongside trade, public employment and small businesses. The Doyang reservoir is a notable landmark, while the seasonal gathering of Amur falcons around Pangti has brought attention to community-led conservation and nature tourism.
Common civic concerns include reliable roads, drinking water, electricity, healthcare and access to education, especially in rural settlements. Residents also care about farming livelihoods, youth employment, waste management and better market connections. Forest protection, wildlife conservation and balancing tourism with local needs are important issues across the district.
