The Northeast Advenduro Edition X Nagaland, a flagship adventure endurance motorcycling event, was officially flagged off by Viyielo Doulo, Director of Tourism, Government of Nagaland, at PR Hill Junction in Kohima on January 26, 2026.
Northeast Advenduro Edition X Nagaland is a self guided endurance ride spanning three to five days and covering a distance of 1,100 to 1,500 kilometres across mixed terrains. The challenge follows GPS coordinate based routes with no predefined tracks, incorporating mystery checkpoints designed to test participants’ navigation skills, endurance and resilience.
The event is open to team based participation comprising three to five members per team, as well as solo riders. Eligible motorcycles must be 200cc and above with adventure and off road capabilities.
A key highlight of the event is its extensive route across almost every district of Nagaland, including Kohima, Phek, Zunheboto, Kiphire, Shamator, Noklak, Tuensang, Longleng, Mon, Mokokchung and Wokha. Participants will explore remote villages, experience diverse tribal cultures, engage in wilderness camping under the stars and practise outdoor cooking along the route.
The event also features team and individual prizes, along with special photography and videography awards celebrating endurance riding as well as visual storytelling of Nagaland’s landscapes and cultural richness.
A total of 10 riders from Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Assam and Nagaland are participating in the endurance challenge, reflecting the growing regional participation and inter state spirit of adventure motorcycling in the Northeast.
The formal flagging off programme began with an invocation by Zajamo Odyuo, Associate Pastor, City Church Kohima. A welcome address was delivered by Peter Rutsa, Convenor, North East Advenduro Edition X, followed by a brief on Advenduro by Sunil Karnany. Burakum Ao, President, Nagaland Adventure Club, delivered the vote of thanks.
