The Dzukou Valley

Tucked away at 2438 m above sea level, the Dzukou Valley is located behind the Japfu range in the north eastern state of Nagaland in India. With the arrival of June and September, the whole valley is covered with a carpet of different wild flowers. For those who love nature, the valley is the most ideal place. Just 30 km from Kohima, the capital of Nagaland, the meandering streams freeze during extreme winter.
