PHEK

  

 A picturesque town nestled in the eastern borders of Mother India, Phek boasts of an invigorating ambiance. Relax, relax and relax should be the only agenda in your mind during your stay at Phek. A tribal gang called Chakhesang are the natives of this region whose traditions and practices are quite different than that of the Nagas. The procession of the colourful carnival of the people can be witnessed during the sukhenyie festival, where people clad themselves in their traditional costumes and adorn with their mystic accessories and sing and dance to the hymns.  

  

 The chirping of the endangered tragopan birds can be heard here and the beautiful spread of colourful orchids offers a heavenly feeling. The unparalleled beauty of Phek is further attributed by the presence of the Shalloi lake. This graceful lake attracts the tourist with its silvery waters. The route to this lake is even more exciting, majestic oak trees flank the road on either side in an ornamental manner. Lofty, immovable peaks shielding the curvy roads offer an exhilarating feeling. The journey is itself more enjoyable.  

 

 The calm serene environment offers a refreshing welcome to the exhausted city people. Thus Phek is worth visiting once in a lifetime.
