While rambling like a vagabond in a seraphic poetic submersion, in a remote region, witnessed the most captivated sight ever, a sleeping valley rippled in wild blooms, as sparkling in mystical celestial beam, in the mesas of the clouds, the Dzukou Valley, a remote dale at the border of Nagaland and Manipur, in the untrodden tableland of India's Northeast! The picturesque landscape was ringing with the once in a lifetime scene of emerald shades of hillocks paving the way for azure mountaintops, luminous flowers waving in the winds amongst the tall grasses! The vale was tweeting and twirling amidst the virgin vegetations enriched with the spectacular sights of verdant forests, exquisite flora and fauna, serpentine streams, myriads of panoramic pink and white wild blooms that dot the vast caldera of the valley and its' verdant meadows, alongside the meandering rivers of Dzukou and Japfu, appeared as the absolute paragon of serenity and tranquility! Surrounded by the whispering platonic hills, with numerous colorful flying creatures, the valley seemed as smuggled over the dewdrops' fragrant feral fruits, Oak and Rhododendron forests are a feast to the eyes! Half way up and any signs of tracks disappear, and one is just left with wheezing enigmatic bamboo thickets! Botanists' delight, trackers' paradise, seraph's psyche, rovers' riddle, is reclining placidly , the untrodden earth's lulling lullaby, in the abode of the divine Lily's anomalous nature's absolute pamphlet, a rich biodiversity hotspots of endemic species, the Dzoku Valley; an uninhabited unsullied phosphorus valley Note: The Dzüko Valley is located at the borders of the states of Nagaland and Manipur in Northeast India. The valley is known for its extremely rich biodiversity, seasonal flowers and flora & fauna. It is situated at an altitude of 2452 m above sea level. © Silpika Kalita

A friend turned me on to this word (Dzoku) today, so I wrote him a poem and then searched for more about it, thus finding your poem - and this website! Now I want to go there (and have become a member here)! Cheers. James https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/journey_to_dzoku_1576142

I like the picture and the poem to go along side plus the note to let us know where this valley is located. It seems like a nice place to visit or send a few days. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

Silpika, this is fantastic writing. The imagery resonated with me, and yet so did the wordplay. It's fantastic to learn about nature and the beauty that resides within it via poetry, especially when the poem is as lovely as this one. You've made a beautiful representation of the planet.

"Botanists' delight, trackers' paradise, seraph's psyche, rovers' riddle" , ...... The Paradise seems to have come down to Earth ! You have given us a wonderful treat to our eyes. Your golden pen has etched an image of verdant beauty in all its vibrancy and color. I have been to Shillong of the North East. It too is blessed with whistling bamboos, meandering streams, tall pines and exotic flora and fauna ! Admirable write, Silpika. This goes into my FAV.

What a luscious scene your words have painted in my mind. The imagery was exquisite and your descriptive adjectives were plentiful. I liked the way you sprinkled alliteration in from time to time. I love to be on the trail pictured with the poems. A beautiful place the meditate and experience natures presence. Thank you for sharing your poetry with us. My soul thanks you, Bill

It looks too beautiful to be real. Is it you in the photo, I admire your quest to find these natural gems in nature - your soul is pure and you are led to these places, perhaps not intentionally, but your soul is guided there by a light brighter than anything we can understand now, but maybe one day we will. I felt a deep serenity whilst commenting and having the scene in front of me. Hugs and blessings,Jennifer.

Thank you much dear Jennifer for such splendid review, indeed you were very true when you said guided, it was a very spiritual moment, among untrodden nature and those moments, the poetic flow is spontaneous. That's where the magic of the nature lies and reply to your query the above photo is not mine, but whoever she is, she might be a fortune soul to visit the valley just like me and one day, hope we might be visiting the valley together...Hugs
