Mopea
In
1835, Robert Pemberton travelled this way and recorded that the dense jungle up
to Onswye was succeeded by a more open tract, in which the fir began to appear[161].
Extending from the village of Mopea, to the Sari or Bor Panee, which rushed over its granite bed, at the foot of the ascent, leading up to Nungklow, on the northern crest of the central plateau.

This tract, extending from Ranagaon (in
Assam?) to Mopea, was so decidedly insalubrious, that it could only be
traversed with safety between the months of November and March. This entirely
neutralised the advantages anticipated by the residents of Assam, from the
vicinity of so elevated and temperate a region.
