Hriangmual - Mawmrang
Hriangmual is a majestic peak located on the eastern edge of the Saitual district, standing near the quiet village of Phuaibuang. The name is derived from the Hriang tree, an evergreen species that dominates the local landscape, and Mual, which means a flat ground or hillock. This site is a fascina ting blend of natural beauty and historical mystery, as it is home to thousands of ancient monolithic remains. These stones are believed to have been erected by the Thado and Ngendal tribes who inhabited these dense forests during the late 1800s. The area is a protected site, strictly monitored by the local villagers to ensure that both the environment and the historical artifacts remain untouched. Walking through the forest of Hriangmual feels like stepping back in time, with the silent stones standing as guardians of a lost era. The Talan River flows nearby, adding to the serene atmosphere of the peak. It is a place rich in biodiversity, where one can spot wild boars, deer, and various species of monkeys swinging through the canopy. The peak is not just a destination for trekkers but also a site of significant interest for historians and archaeologists studying the migration patterns of tribal groups in Northeast India.
