Nestled in greens, the village is grided by long magnificent range of hills making it one of the most scenic places on earth. Richly blessed in nature's bounty, major part of the vibrant land of Phyabu Village is covered by healthy forests providing substantial forest products. The climatic condition of the village suits the varied landscape and the divergent environmental conditions making it a convenient habitat for varieties of flora and fauna. Forests play an essential part in the life of the village by providing basic daily resources for living such as timber, firewood, variant vegetation and pasture lands for cattle. The weather is generally cold. The land also enjoys fresh and replenished water resources. The stretches of steep hills after hills and ridge after ridges with deep valleys for terraced cultivations makes quite a splendid sight. The land provides varieties of vegetables, wild fruits, edible plants and medicinal plants. It is also a sanctuary for wild animals, birds and many other species. Migratory birds locally called as Tyai, Chao, Vouyi etc. visit the land in winters to feed on Chashi (Champaca fruits) which are normally ripened by November. The villagers practice handicrafts such as weaving of baskets, barns, mat and other household items by cane, bamboo and a type of small bamboo locally called as Tyai-mhah found in large quantities in the forest. The products are also exported to neighbouring villages and other states. It was possibly one of the major sources of income for the villagers.
