Located 13 km from Dimapur, Diezephe Craft Village houses weavers and craftsmen, deft in the arts of woodcarving, bamboo and can works. Under the guidance of the Nagaland Handloom and Handicrafts Development Corporation Limited, this village has taken significant in these crafts, in the recent times. A community common workshop is opened for any artisan from the village for use of space, tools and machines for a nominal fee. It’s worth a visit as lots of unique handloom and handicraft products are available under one roof.

The Tenyimei community is the primary inhabitants of the village who are known for their excellent craftsmanship. Here, not only are the artworks displayed, but the process of making them are also openly shown to the tourists.
