Governor Bhalla, accompanied by MLA Leishiyo Keishing and other district officials, trekked up the Mount Wuya Kachui, the natural habitat of the Wuyawon, a striking pink orchid ginger flower that blooms across the scenic mountain slopes.

The flower blossoms each year during the month of July.

A picture-perfect location with misty views, Wuya Kachui is also home to groves of rhododendrons, drawing tourists from across the state.

According to local legends, the Wuya hillock derives its name - "Mountain of Sleep Paralysis" or "Mountain of Nightmares" - from the haunting dreams of a war hero who once camped there.
