Khawnglung Wildlife Sanctuary — Serchhip District

Mizoram India

Bamboo groves rustle in the breeze here, and beneath the green hush lies the echo of an old Mizo legend that still shadows these hills.

Set in the Serchhip district of central Mizoram, Khawnglung Wildlife Sanctuary spreads across roughly 35 square kilometres of bamboo forest, rolling ridges and quiet streams. This wildlife sanctuary in Mizoram shelters barking deer, wild boar, serow and a lively cast of birds, while the surrounding hills carry the memory of the Khawnglung Run — a Mizo folklore tale of raid and escape that still stirs local imagination. The wildlife in Khawnglung Sanctuary reveals itself slowly, rewarding travellers who walk its trails at first light when mist clings to the bamboo. Among the finest things to do in Khawnglung Wildlife Sanctuary is pairing a quiet forest walk with the cultural stories held by nearby villages. Plan your visit via the official Mizoram Tourism portal: tourism.mizoram.gov.in.

November to March, when dry, cool weather makes the forest trails comfortable and wildlife easier to spot.

Khawnglung Wildlife Sanctuary Serchhip sees few visitors, so arrange entry permission and a local guide through the forest office beforehand — and ask them to share the Khawnglung folklore as you walk, which brings the landscape vividly to life.

This attraction can be easily woven into BreakBag Holidays' customised Mizoram tour packages, pairing Khawnglung with the villages and viewpoints of central Mizoram.
