Drive to Dzukou Valley, the Valley of Flowers in Nagaland via Kohima

Dzukou Valley is located at the border of Manipur and Nagaland. It is referred to as the Valley of Flowers of the East. Visitors need to trek 17 kms to the valley. It was covered with a rare Dzukou Lily found only in this part of the world. Something truly mysterious in the valley are the presence of burnt-out trees strewn all over, however, without any reasons for fire. 
Dzukou Valley is indeed a magical place to visit.

How to reach:
Roadies need to drive to drive/ fly to Kohima, Nagaland.
From Kohima either drive ahead or hire a local cab to Vishema village.
From Vishema village, a SUV is needed to reach upto the starting point of the trek.
The first half of stony stairs are quite tough, but after that it is a horizontal walk through the valley for about 5 kms.
