March 8, 2022 The amazing loops of Zuluk wrap around the hill. A treat for our eyes and the joy of a photographer. You need permission to reach this place as the border is under military control. You can see the enchanting color of the Zuluk Loop during sunset over the cloud waves from Lungthung. Beautiful Homestay is found in this very small village of Zuluk.
