About Reiek Heritage Village
An open-air village of traditional Mizo houses at the foot of Reiek, built by Mizoram Tourism: the chief with his carved posts, the zawlbuk where the bachelors of a village slept and kept watch, the blacksmith, the ordinary household. It is the best explanation of how a Mizo village worked before the missions and the town, and it takes half an hour. Stalls fill it during the Anthurium Festival.
What to see and do
- The chief house with carved posts
- Zawlbuk, the bachelor dormitory
- Blacksmith and household huts
- Anthurium Festival stalls in September
Part of Patkai, Naga and Mizo Hills.
