lush valleys
Green sunken terrain
Lush valleys are fertile lowlands between hills or mountains, characterized by abundant vegetation and rich greenery.
The phrase evokes landscapes of thick grass, dense foliage, and often flowing water—the kind of terrain that suggests natural abundance: We hiked through lush valleys dotted with wildflowers.
The combination appears frequently in travel writing and fantasy literature to conjure idyllic, unspoiled scenery.
