Why November 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.
