Champhai is a hill destination in Mizoram, India. Its main natural attraction is Murlen National Park, where tropical, semi-evergreen and sub montane forests support a wide range of plants, birds and animals. Rih dïl, a natural lake known for its heart-shaped outline, lies across the border in Myanmar's Chin State. Champhai has several Presbyterian churches, giving visitors interested in places of worship a range of sites to see. The destination suits travellers who enjoy forest landscapes, wildlife, lakes and quiet visits to religious places. Murlen National Park is also of interest to those who want to see recorded medicinal plants, orchids and bamboo species. Champhai works best for travellers seeking natural attractions rather than a sightseeing itinerary filled with many different landmark types.
