The district of Wokha is situated on the mid-west of the State of Nagaland and adjoins the Sibsagar plains of Assam on the West. The district is intercepted at the heart by latitude 26°8’N and longitude 94°18’E. Its area is not yet exactly known but it is about one- third of the former Mokokchung district which was 3852 sq. km. Therefore Wokha will be about 1300 sq. km.

Wokha district is bounded by Mokokchung district on the north, Zunheboto district on the east and Kohima district on the south, whereas it is bounded by Assam plain on the west side. It more or less shares the same topographical character of the other districts of Nagaland. Like the topography of the other districts it forms a mountain terrain characterized by the ranges of the hills running from northeast to southwest. It is interesting to note that Doyang, which is the biggest river in Nagaland, flows through the middle of the district and it crosses all three ranges of the district.
