Phawngpui National Park

Phawngpui National Park encompasses 50 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, reaching elevations of 2,157 meters above sea level in northeast India.

The Indian government established this protected area in 1992 to preserve the native wildlife and maintain the ecological balance of the Saiha region.

The local Mizo tribes regard the mountain peak as a sacred place, incorporating its presence into their traditional stories and religious ceremonies.

Visitors require permits from the forest department to enter the park, and guided tours depart from the town of Saiha between October and March.

The dense forests contain numerous species of orchids and medicinal plants, while providing shelter for endangered animals like hoolock gibbons and leopard cats.
