## Culture

### Heritage village

Reiek has a typical [Mizo](/source/Mizo_people) village consisting of the distinctive traditional huts of the different Mizo sub-tribes, Mizo chieftain's house, a bachelor's dormitory and that of a widow has been created and maintained by Tourism Department of [Mizoram](/source/Mizoram). The houses are fully furnished giving the visitor a peek into the glorious past of the valiant highlanders. A few Mizo modern houses have also been constructed nearby to show the changes that have taken place in the Mizo way of life in keeping pace with the modern developments. The department also has a cafeteria and a resort providing decent food and accommodation. This is also the venue for the annual Anthurium festival (September) and the best time to visit would be in April.[4]

### Anthurium festival

**Anthurium Festival** is a festival promoting [Anthurium](/source/Anthurium) grown in Mizoram and the rich [Mizo](/source/Mizo_people) customs and traditions at Reiek Tlang to tourists.[5] The Anthurium Festival is organized every year by the Tourism Department and the Horticulture Department with financial support of the central government. It has a dual purpose — promoting the cultivation and marketing of the enthralling flower and attracting more tourists to the scenic beauties of Mizoram. The festival showcases the rich and rhythmic cultural dances and games of Mizoram. Fashion shows are also a regular feature of the festival.[6]

## Ecology

### Fauna

The forests in Reiek hills are home to a fascinating variety of hill birds, including the rare [Peregrine falcon](/source/Peregrine_falcon) which one might see perched on a lofty ledge or swooping on cliff swallows. Right on top of the peak is a big boulder jutting out over a high precipice. The Environment & Forest Department has encouraged tourist to inform the local community before trekking in the forest of Reiek.[7]
