About Mura Puk
Six caves in the hillside near Zawlsei village, about 40 km from Champhai, dug or enlarged by villagers to hide from the raiding Mura, as the Pawi raiders from the south were called, in the years before British control. They are small and plain, and the story is the point; a local will show you the way. Half a day from Champhai.
