How To Reach Barak River

Pherzawl, Manipur, India
A trans-boundary river, the Barak originates in Manipur and flows through Mizoram and Assam before entering Bangladesh where it splits into the Surma and Kushiyara. It is vital for the livelihood and ecosystem of the entire region, locally known as Tuiruong. The river is noted for its rich aquatic b iodiversity, containing over 2,000 species of fish and being home to endangered species like the Ganges river dolphin and smooth-coated otter. It defines the landscape of Pherzawl and historically served as a major transport route for trade between the hills and the plains of Assam. The proposed Tipaimukh Dam on the Barak at its confluence with the Tuivai is a major political and environmental subject in the area, aiming for flood control and hydroelectric power. The upper reaches in Pherzawl are characterized by pristine hill-river ecology and forested banks, forming a crucial part of the district’s natural heritage. Its course through the district is marked by steep gorges and rapid flow, eventually slowing down as it approaches the Tipaimukh plains.
