Phek district is a treasure trove of natural beauty, folklore, and mythological significance for the Naga tribes.
* **Shilloi Lake (Lachem):** Located in the lower ranges of the district, this foot-shaped natural lake is the largest in Nagaland and is surrounded by picturesque hills and local legends. * **Khezhakeno Village:** A deeply significant historic and mythological site.
