About Thorangtlang Wildlife Sanctuary
About 50 square kilometres of forest on the low western hills of Lunglei district, on the road down to Tlabung. It sits on an old elephant route between Dampa and the Bangladesh hill tracts, and elephants still pass through in some years. There is no visitor set-up at all: a forest permit, a village guide, and a long day of walking.
What to see and do
- Elephant corridor towards the Bangladesh hills
- Hoolock gibbon and capped langur
- Lowland forest, warmer than Lunglei
- Combine with a trip down to Tlabung
Part of Patkai, Naga and Mizo Hills.
