Geography & terrain

Dizephe lies in the Dimapur district of Nagaland, 25 km from Dimapur — the Dizephe village of the foothills, known for its orchid gardens and the forests of the region's edge, set in the green country near the state's entrance.

History & culture

The village's story runs with the Dizephe orchid garden — the 2018-established garden of the district's hills that collects the region's wild orchids; the area's foothill life of the Naga villages and the forests of the edge give Dizephe its natural-history character in the region's lesser-visited green.
