Murlen National Park

The subtropical forest stretches across 100 square kilometers of hills near the Myanmar border, containing dense vegetation and numerous hiking trails through mountainous terrain.

After its establishment in 1991, the national park became a protected sanctuary for endangered species, marking a shift in regional conservation priorities.

Local Mizo communities maintain traditional sustainable farming methods around the park boundaries while supporting wildlife preservation through their agricultural practices.

Visitors reach the park via roads from Aizawl, with October through March offering the most favorable conditions for wildlife observation and hiking activities.

The park houses India's only ape species, the hoolock gibbon, alongside numerous indigenous medicinal plants used by surrounding communities.
