Dzukou Valley - Nagaland & Manipur India

Dzukou Valley, nestled on the border of Nagaland and Manipur in Northeast India, is a pristine paradise renowned for its rolling meadows, seasonal wildflowers, and serene landscapes. Perched at an altitude of approximately 2,452 meters above sea level, the valley offers breathtaking views and a tranquil environment for nature lovers and trekkers alike. The name "Dzukou" translates to "cold water" in the local Angami and Mao dialects, referencing the chilly streams that meander through the valley. Often referred to as the "Valley of Flowers," Dzukou comes alive between June and September with a vibrant bloom of lilies, rhododendrons, and other endemic flora, including the rare Dzukou Lily (Lilium chitrangadae) . Accessible via treks from villages like Viswema and Zakhama near Kohima, the journey to Dzukou Valley is as enchanting as the destination itself, offering a blend of adventure and serenity.
