Nausori Highlands

Nausori Highlands

The Nausori Highlands are located in the interior of Fiji's main island Viti Levu. One of the most picturesque villages is Navala. The Nausori Highlands are a great place to learn about Fijian culture.

The dryzone mountain rainforest contributes to its national significance as outlined in Fiji's Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan.^[1]

History[]

The Nausori Highlands were originally considered a hideout for cannibals. Near a thatched house, the official residence of the chief, lies a cemetery where missionaries converted the highlands to Christianity.

Since the 21st century, the area has been a site of national significance.
