About Kungawrhi Puk
A cave between Farkawn and Vaphai in the far south-east of the district, tied to the story of Kungawrhi, the girl born from her father thumb who was carried off by a spirit and hidden here until her husband found her. It is a walk from the road, and the cave is dark and shallow; take a torch. Farkawn also has Fiara Tui, the spring whose water Mizo folklore holds to be the sweetest anywhere.
