Vety Farm
The Vety Farm in Thenzawl is managed by the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Department of Mizoram. It is not just a functional farm but one of the most picturesque locations in the district, often compared to the meadows of Switzerland. The farm covers a vast area of rolling green hills where cattl e and ponies graze freely. It was established to improve the livestock breed in the state and provides a serene environment for tourists to relax. The landscape is dotted with small ponds and clusters of pine trees, making it a favorite spot for film shooting and pre-wedding photography. Visitors can see various breeds of cows, pigs, and goats being reared in a clean, scientific manner. The open pastures offer a sense of freedom and tranquility that is hard to find in the bustling city areas. It serves as an educational site for students interested in agriculture and animal sciences while doubling as a top-tier leisure destination. :
