2 Days in Hnahthial for a Nature Trip
Hnahthial is one of those hidden gems in Mizoram where nature feels untouched. I remember my first visit—rolling hills, crisp air, and the kind of quiet that lets you hear birds from miles away. It's perfect if you want to step away from the usual tourist spots and just soak in the greenery.
