Located in the eastern part of Nagaland, Tuensang is characterized by its rugged, mountainous terrain. It sits within the Patkai mountain range, which forms the natural border between India and Myanmar. The city is surrounded by dense subtropical broadleaf forests and steep valleys.
The region's geography makes it incredibly biodiverse, home to a variety of endemic flora and fauna. The Dikhu river and its tributaries flow through the district, carving deep gorges and providing critical water resources for the surrounding villages and agricultural lands. The landscape is marked by terraced hillsides and vibrant green canopies, particularly lush during the monsoon season.
