Murlen National Park — near Champhai

Mizoram India

Mist threads through moss-draped oaks here, and the only sounds are dripping leaves and the distant call of a barking deer somewhere in the green.

Tucked into the hills near Champhai in eastern Mizoram, Murlen National Park shelters roughly 100 square kilometres of dense semi-evergreen and montane forest, laced with wild orchids, towering oaks and rare medicinal plants. This quiet national park in Mizoram is home to hoolock gibbons, Himalayan black bears, serow and the elusive clouded leopard, while its canopy draws birders hoping for a glimpse of the Mrs Hume's pheasant. Among the finest things to do in Murlen National Park is walking its forest trails at dawn, when the light filters through the mist and the wildlife in Murlen National Park stirs to life. Murlen National Park Champhai pairs beautifully with the vineyards and valleys of the surrounding region. Plan your visit via the official Mizoram Tourism portal: tourism.mizoram.gov.in.

November to March, when clear skies and cool, dry trails make Murlen National Park trekking most rewarding.

Entry requires prior permission from the forest office at Champhai, the nearest town and best base — arrange a local guide there, and combine your trip with nearby Rih Dil lake and the Champhai vineyards for a fuller taste of the east.

This attraction can be easily woven into BreakBag Holidays' customised Mizoram tour packages, pairing Murlen with Champhai's lakes, vineyards and border viewpoints.
