If you are looking for a place to hike in Nagaland Dzukou valley is one of the best place you should visit. It's is a long way up to reach this beautifu valleyl but the climb is so much worth it. I think the best time is around April since everything is fresh and green. During the dry season it's all dry and not that good. Ahead planning is one of the key role before trekking up to Dzukou. Don't forget to take warm clothes it's freezing cold if you go around winter. And also a rain coat will be very good if you go around the monsoon. Take sufficient food because when you purchase food up in the hill it's quite expensive. You can purchase tea and also food but best of we cook and make our own tea. Don't forget to take power backup for your phone a power bank will be very helpful There is a small shop at the hill which is double the price. There is also quest house but it's expensive. I suggest to take your own tent . You can also find caves at the hill which I suggest you to stay in one of those tent it's so much something. You can find fresh water at the hill. You can also get a local guide who can guide you through the valleys. All the best for your journey ? Stay safe take care and enjoy.

The Dzükou/Dzüko Valley is a valley located at the border of the states of Manipur and Nagaland in northeast India. This valley is well known for its natural environment, seasonal flowers and flora and fauna. It is situated at an altitude of 2452 m above sea level. The rare Dzükou Lily is found only in this valley. The valley is famous for its wide range of flower in every season. But the most famous one is the Dzükou lily. The word Dzüko is originally derived from the Viswema dialect of the Angamis 'Dzü-ko' which means 'Soulless and Dull' referring to when some ancestors of Viswema who moved out to establish a new village in Dzüko, due to the unfavorable weather conditions they were unable to harvest crops which led them to say "the valley is very beautiful but is dull and soulless". As the story is passed down through oral tradition, the chieftain had a dream and in his dream the spirit-gods "Tevrümi" asked him 7 roosters if they wanted to settle in the valley. The interpretation of that dream was that the Tevrümi i.e. spirit-gods is asking to give the 7 best male youth as a sacrifice. To which, the chief would not sacrifice his best male warriors. He also send some youth to the valley to bring the soil to him and so they did as requested. The chief elder checked the soil and he said that the land was very fertile and but not appropriate for vegetation (as the known vegetation knowledge for them). Thus, because of these reasons the people gave up to settle in the valley. From there the name "Dzükou" or in local dailect "Dzüko" came, which literally means "cold heart" because they gave up to settled. A common misconception is that Dzüko derives its meaning from the Angami word which translates to "Cold Water" referring to the ice cold stream that flows through the valley. The main entry from the foothills of Viswema village where one can travel to the rest house above Mt. Teyozwü by a Tata Sumo taxi. From here one has to climb forty minutes to the top of the mountain. This is where Dzüko starts but the main valley is still another two hours walk away. One can exit the valley from the same route but if one is planning to come back by foot, the Jakhama route is shorter. Also it can be reached in five hours of trek from Mt. Isii of Senapati district of Manipur. The new five-hour trek route was opened by MMTA (Manipur Mountaineering and Trekking Association)
