Reiek Tlang
The Natural Splendor of Reiek: Reiek Tlang is one of the highest and most famous peaks in Mizoram. It stands at an altitude of about 1548 meters above sea level. The hill offers a stunning 360-degree view of the surrounding valleys. On a clear day, one can even see the plains of Bangladesh. The trek to the top passes through a lush, dense temperate forest. It is a haven for rare birds like the Peregrine Falcon. At the foot of the hill lies a beautifully maintained heritage village. This village showcases the traditional huts of various Mizo sub-tribes. The hill is a cuesta, meaning it has one steep side and one gentle slope. It is a favorite spot for trekkers and nature photographers alike. The government has built a comfortable tourist lodge at the base. It is the venue for the world-famous Anthurium Festival every year. The air at the peak is incredibly crisp and refreshing for visitors.
