Sikkim, where hills tower like castles built on cloudy nothingness, where lakes dot the countryside like sparkling jewels on a carpet of lush green forest, where mighty rivers roar down deep ravines lined with the bloom of Rhododendron flowers, Where impossibly steep terraced farms give way to gentle slopes of grassland, where the air is fresh, the water pure and the people gentle, where courtesy and good manners are second nature.
Welcome to Sikkim, a treasure trove of beauty, in its landscape, culture and people. A mystical wonderland of spectacular natural beauty. The panoramic perfection of the snow-capped Himalayas, the heady scent of flower-bedecked meadows, the infinite variety of its flora and fauna all make Sikkim a must visit destination.
Conquering Dzukou Valley! — Michelle Sumi Hesso
Hosting my friends – Anoosha from Mumbai and Trilokesh from Chennai – visiting Nagaland for the first time for the Hornbill Festival, 2014; I had planned a daily itinerary for their stay and a trek to Dzukou Valley was one of them.

So I got in touch with Rohan from The India Trail, who was extremely helpful (of course), and he arranged for one of their guides to accompany us. Initial communication with the guide was established and the much-awaited trek was scheduled for the 6th of December, 2014.

On the morning of 6th December, we woke up at 5:00 am, prepared a meal and packed it for the trek later. Read more
