The land is bounded by Burma (Myanmar) in the east, Manipur in the south (Tangkhul and Moa Nagas), Kohima district (Angami Naga) on the west and Zunheboto district (Sema Naga) on the north. About 70% of the land is covered with thick evergreen forest. Zanibu is the highest mountain which is about 8000ft above sea-level. Home to Chakhesangs and Pochuries it is 145 km from Kohima. Colourful orchids grow wildly here.
