Dzukou Valley is a mesmerising valley situated at the border of Nagaland and Manipur. Popularly known as the "Valley of Flowers of the Northeast", it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The valley is surrounded by surreal hills, and is home to a variety of beautiful flowers that thrive in this terrain. The 5-kilometer trek to the valley top is well worth the effort. Visitors are recommended to carry their own tents and camping equipment as there are no accommodation facilities available in the valley.
Intanki Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected reserve forest near Kohima. The sanctuary is home to a wide range of flora and fauna, including several endangered species. Visitors can take a guided trek to explore the sanctuary and spot various animals, including barking deer, hoolock gibbons, and several species of birds. The sanctuary is also a popular spot for nature lovers and photographers, thanks to its stunning landscape and scenic beauty.
Nagaland is a paradise for nature lovers, and 2 days might not be enough to explore all its natural wonders. Visitors can add a visit to the beautiful Khonoma Village, which is known for its lush green forests and rich wildlife. Those who have more time can also check out the Shilloi Lake or the Seven Sister Waterfalls. However, if you are short on time, you can skip either Dzukou Valley or Intanki Wildlife Sanctuary. It is also advisable to carry warm clothes and rainwear, as the weather can be unpredictable in Nagaland.
