The meeting centered on transformative projects, including construction of a sky-walk, development of the trekking routes, establishment of an eco-park, promotion of Thaidawr Tlâng (Betlingchhip) as a nature reserve and redevelopment of the Tlaksih paragliding site.

The central theme of the discussion focused on promoting a tourism model that is community-driven, environmentally sustainable and economically beneficial to local communities, while also preserving the environment and supporting local arts, crafts and culture.

Chowdhury praised the leaders for their forward-thinking approach and extended an invitation for them to visit his office after Christmas to discuss the feasibility and implementation of the proposed projects in detail.

The Mizo leaders accepted the invitation warmly, sharing their optimism for the future of tourism in Jampui Hills.

Once implemented, these proposed initiatives are anticipated to establish Jampui Hills as a top-tier tourist destination, while simultaneously empowering local communities and safeguarding the region’s ecological and cultural heritage.
