Travel notes of the day
Get ready for a day filled with amazing activities.
River canyoning your way to the ‘Um khakoi reservoir will be the highlight of the day. Jumping off rocks, crawling, scrambling, sliding over others, basically trekking over the river bed is what river is canyoning is all about.
One doesn’t have to be a swimmer to participate in this activity. Unless someone has a phobia of water the activity can be enjoyed by everyone.
A small trek to Lew Luri Lura will start the day. According to local folklore, Lew Luri Lura which was a marketplace for animals thousands of years back, during a time when animals could speak. The depressions are believed to be footprints of the large animals.
The village is filled with serene spots in the jungle and some interesting fossils. Mawlyngbna is our favourite summer/ monsoon retreat. If you grew up in Mawlyngbna, you would never need an adventure park in your life.
Once the canyoning is over, get your kayak and relax over the still waters, then
go ziplining, and if you have energy left then dive into the waters of the Um-kha -koi.
