Noklak Forest Check Gate
The Noklak Forest Check Gate is more than just a security point; it is the physical boundary where the urban town meets the dense temperate forests of Nagaland. It is managed by the Department of Environment, Forests and Climate Change. The gate serves as a monitoring station for the rich biodivers ity leaving and entering the district. It is a popular spot for travelers to stop and register their entry while enjoying the fresh mountain air. Surrounding the gate are towering pine trees and indigenous broadleaf forests. The area is known for birdwatching, as many rare species can be spotted in the canopy nearby. It represents the district's commitment to conservation. The guards here are often friendly and provide information about road conditions. The altitude here offers a refreshing chill even during the summer months. It is the first point of welcome for visitors coming from Tuensang.
