Paddle out from

Mawlyngbna in January

Fossil beaches, split rocks and lake kayaking.

Quick answer. Dry winter. The strongest hiking, caving and camping window; high areas can see frost and sub-zero mornings. For Mawlyngbna specifically, January is a comfortable month with the usual hill-state caveats.

Why January here

A community-run adventure village: Umkhakoi lake kayaking, marine-fossil beds and the Split Rock.

Mawlyngbna is the community-tourism success story of the eastern plateau: kayak and zipline on Umkhakoi lake, marine fossil beds from an ancient seabed, the Split Rock formation and riverside treks, all village-run.
