Paddle out from

Mawlyngbna in October

Fossil beaches, split rocks and lake kayaking.

Quick answer. Post-monsoon. Rivers and falls still strong, skies clearing, the harvest festival period begins. For Mawlyngbna specifically, October is a comfortable month with the usual hill-state caveats.

Why October 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.
