- Learn a few Mizo phrases like 'Ka lawm e' (Thank you) to break the ice.
Relax at Mamit Lake
A serene spot to unwind after a day of exploring. The lake is surrounded by lush greenery, and you can rent a small boat or just sit by the water. Locals often picnic here on weekends, so it’s a good place to try homemade Mizo snacks from vendors.
- Try the steamed fish sold by lakeside vendors—it’s fresh and lightly spiced.
- Carry mosquito repellent if staying past sunset.
