Labasa is the largest town on Vanua Levu, Fiji's second-biggest island, and the commercial hub of the country's sugar-growing north. Set on a river a little inland from the coast, it is a busy, friendly place with lively markets and a strong Indo-Fijian community, centred on the sugar mill that has shaped its economy for over a century. Labasa is less touristy than Fiji's resort coasts, offering an authentic slice of local life. Nearby is the Naag Mandir, a Hindu temple built around a cobra-shaped rock that devotees believe has grown over the years, along with hot springs and quiet rural scenery. The town works as a gateway to the wider north of Vanua Levu and the drive across to Savusavu. The tropical climate is warm and humid, with a wetter season roughly from November to April.
