Rumphi is the capital of the Rumphi District in the Northern Region of Malawi. It is a lively town with a market which serves the widespread tobacco farming community.

Rumphi is noted for the kindness of the people (it's even rude to pass by someone without greeting them) Fact|date=August 2008. It is also known for nearby Nyika National Park, Nyika Plateau, and the summer heat. Unlike its larger neighbour, Mzuzu, which has mild sunny weather almost all year, Rumphi has very hot summers. This is largely due to the town being surrounded by hills.
