Rihli (lit.'Rih Lake') is a natural lake located in Falam townshinp in northwestern Chin State in Myanmar. It lies at about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from Khawmawi, the nearest city situated on the India–Myanmar border. It has a heart-shaped outline. It is about 1 mile (1.6 km) in length, .5 miles (0.80 km) in width, about 3 miles (4.8 km) in circumference and about 60 feet (18 m) in depth.
Rihli holds an important status in the traditional religion and narratives of the Chin people, which includes the Mizo, Laimi, and Zomi, among others. According to Chin ancestors, the lake was a corridor to heaven called Pialral. All souls destined to Pialral must pass through the lake.
