Nagaland Tourism Association (NTA) organised “explore Sendenyu” tour to identify possible new tourist circuit for marketing, in view of the eco friendly bio reserve and wildlife conservation (SB&WC) initiated by the community for more than a decade.
A press release by NTA president, Vincent Belho stated that 23 sq/km area has been reserved under Sendenyu biodiversity & wildlife conservation, which was started in 2000 by the people of Sendenyu, Thongsü & New Sendenyu villagers.
It informed that one of the most interesting features was the Nsonji Lake and given the right sensitization, value realisation, training and basic tourist friendly developments, Sendenyu village would become a hotspot of tourism activity link with Touphema tourist village.
NTA also stated that the reserve area has various species of wildlife and was approximately 17 km from Botsa junction, National highway 61, which would be enjoyed by all wild life enthusiasts, photographers, camping and a perfect weekend getaway.
