The Dikhau (also Dikhu or Dikhow ) is a left tributary of the Brahmaputra in the Indian states of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam .
The Dikhau rises in the Patkai Mountains in the northern part of Nagaland 90 km north-northeast of Kohima . The headwaters are on Nuroto Hill in the Zunheboto District . The Dikhau flows through the mountains in a northerly direction. It separates the Mokokchung district in the west from the Tuensang district in the east. The main tributaries of the Dikhau are Yangyu coming to the right of the Tuensang district and Nanung from the Langpangkong ridge in the Mokokchung district. The Dikhau leaves the mountains near Naginimora and reaches the lowlands of Assam . It turns north-northwest and later west. It meanders through the lowlands and passes the small town of Simaluguri and the district capital Sivasagar . Eventually the Dikhau reaches the south bank of the Brahmaputra. The Dikhau has a length of 160 km.
The Disang used to be one of the most famous sacred rivers.
