About Mount Japfu

The 109-foot Rhododendron tree, the world's tallest, adds to the allure of this mountain (as per the Guinness Book of Records). The Japfu, which is interconnected with neighbouring cities and villages, resembles an emerald canvas with the extra bonus of subtropical greenery and chattering hill birds. Climbers can appreciate the splendour of the Dzukou Valley – sometimes known as the Dzukou Alps – from this top.
