Saramati, the Doyang and a border with Myanmar: the physical frame of Nagaland
Background
Amur falcons reach the Doyang reservoir in Nagaland between mid-October and mid-November each year, which puts one of the State's five main rivers in the news every autumn.
The Directorate of Information and Public Relations names the main rivers as the Dhansiri, Doyang, Dikhu, Tizu and Lanye.
Saramati, in Kiphire district, is the highest peak in the State at 3,840 m.
Nagaland is bounded by Assam on the west, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh on the north, Myanmar and Arunachal Pradesh on the east and Manipur on the south.
Myanmar is the only foreign country on its border.
The State covers 16,579 sq km and its capital Kohima stands 1,444.22 m above sea level.
