Shilloi Lake

A beautiful natural lake in Nagaland, Shilloi Lake falls in a valley surrounded by pine forest and interesting picturesque landscapes. The actual name of the lake is Lütsam meaning a place where water is collected. It was called Shiloh by the British but today it is officially known as Shilloi. It is the largest natural lake in Nagaland and is situated in the village of the Phokhungri area under the Meluri sub-division in the Phek district. It is situated in a landlocked area decorated by natural pine trees and a view of the lake from the top makes it appear in the shape of a human footprint. Migratory Siberian cranes visit this lake from March to June. It is a water reserver and migratory birds attract the visitors in large numbers. While on tour to Kohima you must visit the place.
