Like other parts
of Nagaland, Phek district
(Chakhesang) is a mountainous
region. 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.
