The picturesque valley of Nagaland, about 30kms from Kohima is one of the most beautiful spots for nature lovers. Strewn with blooming flowers in the months of June and September, Dzukou Valley is often called the valley of celestial charm. It is 2438 meters above sea level and nestles behind the Japfu range.
This valley of ethereal beauty remains untouched by civilization. In summers its placid lakes and burbling brooks are surrounded with wild herbs and shrubs. Pink and white lilies bloom and the aconitums and euphorbias along with hundreds of other botanical species sprout during the monsoons. Rhododendrons, orchids and lilies are a delight for every nature lover. The swirling streams of the valley freezes during the winter covering the trees with snow flakes, a beauty that lies only in the eyes of the beholder.
Known for its bio-diversity, the prevailing shrub of the valley is the bamboo shrub that gives a typical ‘mowed-lawn look’ to the valley. Dzukou Valley has colorful rhododendrons blooming across its evergreen hilly slopes.
Dzukou Valley is one of the best trekking spots of North East India. The valley has some of the best natural caves, rocks and hills. Trekkers take to the greenery of the valley and its difficult terrain to explore the caves as well as enjoy the flowing streams.
This beautiful land of abundant natural beauty has immense tourist attraction. The ethnic tribes, their habitat, arts and handicrafts and the locales attract many. Log on to northeastindia.com to know about Dzukou Valley.
