For trekkers and wanderers seeking tranquility, here's a little-known pocket of paradise that is situated at the border of Nagaland and Manipur. Dzukou Valley is located behind the Japfu Peak (Nagaland’s second highest) at 2438 m above sea level. It is believed to have gotten its name from its namesake river, which translates to ‘Cold Waters’. Monsoon sees the entire valley carpeted with flowers, lending it an extraordinary charm. With lush greenery and pristine streams, it is a sanctuary for a diverse array of flora and fauna. The picturesque haven offers a panoramic view of gentle rolling hills, a profoundly mesmerising spectacle.
