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]

Significance

Mount Khülio-King is home to rich biodiversity.[6] Abundant natural resources are still intact and human intervention is on the rise. Flowers like Rhododendron, Mountain-ebony and Malberry trees are widely found across Khülio-King.

Route

To visit and explore the peak which is relatively unknown and almost an unexplored mountain one has to either go to Choklangan or Wui Village, however, the road condition is bumpy and diplorable.[7]
