Pala Tipo – Palak Dil (Lake) – the biggest lake in Mizoram
Mizoram state has three types of (natural) lakes: valley lakes, tectonic/landslide lakes and artificial reservoirs, but the only lake of significance is Palak Dil, which is a natural lake in a depression in the hills.
(Photo/Picture of Pala Tipo also known Palak Dil in Mizo and Pala Lake in English. One of the best tourist hot spots in Mizoram, Northeaast India. Mizoram tourism)
Palak Dil may possibly be a combination of valley and tectonic lakes. Locally in Mizoram, lakes are called dils. There are many such dils scattered all over the state, but they are tiny pools or marshy depressions such as Rengdil, Tamdil and Mampui Dil (Choudhury 2002). The Palak Lake is situated within the Mara Autonomous district Council, which is a region inhabited by the Mara Tribe. The Maras are distinct from the majority Mizos and in the Mara language the Palak lake is referred to as Pala Tipo.

Surrounded by verdant tropical forests Palak Dil looks amazingly beautiful, peaceful and inviting…I’m sure it has much more to offer than eyes can see. I hope the natural beauty and the wildeness of this jewel will be preserved undistrubed forever!!!
