The '''Dzüko Valley'''
It is situated at an altitude of 2452 m above sea level.{{cn|date=March 2023}}{{vn|date=March 2023}} The valley is famous for its wide range of flowers in every season but the most famous one is the "Dzükou Lily" (''Lilium chitrangadae''), named after the mother of its discoverer, Hijam Bikramjit, a researcher of the Life Sciences Department, [[Manipur University]], in the summer of 1991. This lily species is opined by some botanists to be similar to [[Shirui lily]] (''[[Lilium mackliniae]]''), with the only difference in being deeper in pink colour.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Dzuko Lily - Flowers of India |url=http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Dzukou%20Lily.html |access-date=2020-08-14 |website=Flowers of India |quote=The endemic Dzukou lily was first identified, in the Dzukou valley, by Hijam Bikramjit of the Life Sciences Department, Manipur University, in the summer of 1991. Bikramjit was part of a Manipur Cultural Integration Conference team that trekked to the valley that summer. Bikramjit named it Lilium chitrangadae after his mother. However, later studies found that Dzuko lily is botanically similar to the revered Shirui lily, but is deep pink in color.}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Lilium mackliniae - Shirui Lily |url=http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Shirui%20Lily.html |access-date=2023-03-23 |website=www.flowersofindia.net}}</ref>
