Mount Khülio-King
Mount Khülio-King, alternatively called Khelia King, is the second highest peak in the Indian state of Nagaland. It is the highest in the Khiamniungan region and lies along the India–Myanmar border in the Patkai Range.[3] The peak connects Mount Saramati in the east of Patsho village and south of Noklak. This unexplored mountain is a home to variety of flora and fauna and remains snow capped at the peaks during winter.[4] The terrain is relatively virgin and untouched but a home to rich bio-diversity.[5]
