Planning For a Summer Trip? Mesmerizing Dzukou Valley Could Be a Great Choice

East India is beautiful in its own way. The greens, diverse flora, and fauna, and eye-catching waterfalls make it look like a mesmerizing painting. But thanks to the universe! It does exist in real. So if you’re planning to go out this Summer and spend some time in the lap of nature, Dzukou Valley could be a great choice and we do have reasons to support the same.

Dzukou Valley, located in between Senapati district of Manipur and Kohima district of Nagaland and situated at an altitude of 2452 metres above sea level, is considered by many people to be a piece of heaven on earth due to its ethereal scenery that amazes your visual senses and makes you feel an emotion of delight as a traveler once you have witnessed it.

The swathes of greenery surrounding this magnificent valley come alive with various blooms of flowers in every season but the most unique of all is the Dzukou Lily which was first identified by Hijam Bikramjit of the Life Sciences Department of Manipur University.

Bikramjit, a researcher, named this pretty pink flower after his mother when he first came across it in the summer season of 1991.

If you are looking for a great place to trek in the summer season, you can simply choose to visit a place in Nagaland known as Dzukou Valley to make wonderful memories with your group of friends.

If you want to plan a trip to Dzukou Valley without any guides, you can book a flight or train to Guwahati and then take an overnight train to Dimapur in Nagaland.

Once you reach this bustling city of Nagaland, take a cab to Vishwema or Zakhama. A 17-kilometer trek from Viswema Village to Dzukou will take you 5-6 hours. And another trek from Dzukou Valley to Zakhama, 15 kilometers, will take you about 3-4 hours.

Ensure that you carry an Inner Line Permit (ILP) with you. The cost of entry pass to Dzukou Valley is Rs. 50. To stay in Dzukou Valley, you can buy tents or can book lodging in dormitories.

It is always better to carry sleeping bags or mattresses with you whenever you go trekking so that you can buy a tent and ensure to have a comfortable stay for the night

Pack light for this trekking trip and carry a portable charger with you as you would not want to spend days up there regretting that you couldn’t take pictures because your phone went dead at the last moment.
