Useful Tips

If you have more time, we recommend visiting the Seven Sisters Falls, Rainbow Falls, and Mawphlang Sacred Grove. On the other hand, if you only have a few days, you may exclude some destinations or reduce the duration spent in each location and balance the number of places you visit. Make sure to check the rainy days and plan accordingly. Most attraction sites are open year-round, while others may close during heavy rainfall.
