- Description

This is a rocky ledge over a high cliff where love-smitten Lianchhiari used to sit to watch the distant village where her lover, Chawngfianga had migrated. With its tip projecting and commanding a good view of the surrounding hills, it is situated at Dungtlang village, about 56 kilometers from Champhai. The story goes that Lianchhiari, a beautiful daughter of Vanhnuaithanga, the great chief of Dungtlang, fell in love with Chawngfianga, son of a common citizen.,However the couple couldn’t get married and Chawngfianga migrated to Chhingzawl village to the east of Dungtlang This came as a great shock to Lianchhiari who became heartbroken and went up the hill to sit on the precarious ledge from which she could see the village where her lover had gone to live. For many days she used to sit here gazing endlessly down on Chhingzawl, refusing to eat and composing woeful songs of love.
