Murlen National Park, Champhai Churches
The morning in Champhai holds a promise of rejuvenation as you savour the delightful 'Sanpiau' at a traditional eatery. This rice porridge with a mix of sauces makes a perfect breakfast, setting your energy levels for the day's journey. The streets come alive with the gentle hustle of the locals, the scent of fresh foods, and the melodies of local tunes wafting through the air.
Post breakfast, the allure of Murlen National Park awaits. A haven for biodiversity, the park's terrains stretch out like a green carpet, teeming with bamboo groves, subtropical forests, and delicate ferns. As you saunter, keep an ear out for the melodious chirping of endemic birds, and maybe even catch a glimpse of the endangered Hoolock gibbons swinging amidst the trees. The gentle trails beckon for a hike, leading you deeper into nature's wonders. The quiet serenity of the place is a gentle reminder of the unspoiled beauty of the region.
The spiritual side of this town comes alive at the Champhai Churches. These aren’t just places of worship but masterpieces showcasing intricate architectural designs, reflective of the region's deep-rooted faith. The echoing hymns and serene interiors offer moments of introspection and connection with the divine.
Before the sun dips, make your way to a local bazaar, which is the heartbeat of Champhai. Every stall tells a story; be it through vibrant Mizo textiles, intricately carved artefacts, or the appetizing aroma of local foods. Interacting with the artisans gives a deeper understanding of their craft while tasting local delicacies introduces you to the rich palate of Mizo cuisine.
