About
Tazing Dong means "great mountain" in the Tripura language. Surveys since 2015 put several border peaks higher, but it keeps its place in the trekking circuit: from Keokradong the trail drops to Passing para and Sungsang para, then climbs again to the summit over a day, with villages for the night. The views from the top take in Keokradong, the Saka Haphong ridge and Myanmar. A guide and registration at Ruma are required, as for all of this country.
Getting there: On foot from Keokradong or Boga Lake with a guide.
Things to do
- Add it to Keokradong for a four-day circuit from Ruma.
Good to know
- Water is scarce on the ridge; fill up at the villages.
