Introduction
Khawnglung Wildlife Sanctuary, in southeastern Mizoram, protects a stretch of forest supporting a range of regional wildlife, its relatively remote location keeping visitor numbers modest compared to Mizoram's more accessible protected areas. The sanctuary's dense forest cover reflects the broader ecological character of Mizoram's less-developed hill districts, offering genuine wilderness for visitors willing to make the journey.
Given its remoteness and limited formal tourism infrastructure, visits to Khawnglung typically require advance planning and local guidance, appealing specifically to travellers seeking Mizoram's quieter, less-documented conservation areas. Its forest cover forms part of the wider ecological corridor connecting several of southeastern Mizoram's protected habitats along the border region.
History
Established to protect forest habitat in this less-developed part of southeastern Mizoram, the sanctuary's remoteness has historically limited both visitor access and detailed ecological documentation, keeping it among the state's less studied protected areas.
Best time to visit
October to March.
How to reach
In southeastern Mizoram, requiring a multi-hour road journey with local guidance recommended.
