About this place
Parbung is one of the main settlements of Pherzawl district, a Hmar village spread across high ridges with long views into the Barak country. It is remote, hospitable and almost entirely off the tourist map: the kind of place where arriving means being introduced to the village council.
How to reach
Roughly 180 km from Imphal via Churachandpur on rough hill roads; count on 10–12 hours and a 4WD. Arrange a host before leaving.
Local tips
- Never travel this route without a confirmed local contact.
- Carry fuel, cash and a satellite-independent plan; coverage is intermittent.
- Check district advisories carefully before committing to the journey.
