Mawlyngbna Adventure Camp

Reviewed By Yogi_traveller111 - Assam, India

Its a beautiful and peaceful place to relax and to experience the thrilling treks and adventurous activities. All the water activities are a must to do. The highlight for us was the "RIVER TREK". The guides are very professional, helpful and lovely people. Well if you are visiting, rent a tent (with Bonfire at night) and stay in the wild and do the river trek, waterfall trek, split rock visit for sure among other activities. All in all great experience.
