Tourism in Mizoram – Things to know before you go (Travel Guide)

Mizoram , Featured , India , Northeast India

Last Updated on: Feb 10, 2023  

Mizoram, also known as the Land of Blue Mountains and the Land of Lushai Highlanders is an exceptionally beautiful place. Covered with lush green forests, tourism in Mizoram is known for its breathtaking views from cliffs, stunning waterfalls and picturesque villages set amidst seas of morning mist that enfold the hills and peaks in its embrace. Here is our complete Mizoram Travel Guide that will help you to plan a trip to Mizoram. Mizoram runs at its own rhythm. This is what we understood on our week-long trip in Mizoram. Literally tucked in one corner of the country, tourism in Mizoram has not yet seen the rush. Thus the beautiful mountain villages and the verdant valleys beyond Aizawl remains quite a tempting destination for off-the-beaten-track travellers like us. The Mizos are friendly and helpful; they lead their life on their own terms.

The hills of Mizoram are often shrouded in a perpetual mist and cloud. They look simply magnificent. Even at nights, you can see a layer of cloud hovering near the hills. That led us to think why this state was not called the abode of clouds! With diverse natural beauty and gorgeous countryside, the land of Lushai highlanders welcomed us with open arms. BUSY NOW? CLICK HERE TO PIN THIS FOR A LATER READ ! The plan to visit Mizoram was a sudden one. The time was during the October holidays and flights to Aizawl were at a sky-high price. So we decided to do a little detour to Aizawl. We reached Silchar and from there took a shared Sumo to Aizawl. It was a long journey, but Mizoram is worth all the trouble on the road.

Where is Mizoram located?

Mizoram is located in the southern corner of Northeast India and shares its borders with Myanmar and Bangladesh. Assam, Manipur and Tripura are its neighbours in the Indian side.

The land of Lushai Highlanders

Mizoram has very interesting folklore about their origin. The majority of Mizo tribes believe that they had originated from Khul, a mythical cave in south China. Most of these beliefs were passed on oral traditions. These tribes then migrated towards Manipur and Assam and Myanmar. Mizo literally means highlanders and so Mizoram is practically the land of the Highlanders. Anthropologically, the Mizos belong to the Mongoloid race and were the original settlers in the Shan state of erstwhile Burma. Two of their tribes, the Lushais and the Hmars migrated to their present land crossing the Tiau River bordering western Burma in the early eighteenth century. After the Indian independence in 1947, Mizoram was originally a part of Assam. Later it became a union territory in 1971 and finally, Mizoram became the 23rd Indian State in 1987.

The Mizos are divided into several sub-tribes having their own dialect. In the past, the Mizos were animists and worshipped nature. Later with the advent of Christian missionaries, they embraced Christianity. Now, the majority of them are Christians and almost every village and city of Mizoram has a beautiful church. Infact, Aizawl can be called a city of churches, as we found so many of them there. The Mizos take their Sundays very seriously. Almost everything is closed on Sundays. The Mizos attend the church dressed in their best attires on Sunday morning and evening for mass and prayer. We arrived Aizawl on a Sunday when all the shops and market were closed, the sumo stand was also closed and we could not get any sumo to our next destination! But on the road, we saw pretty ladies and handsome men in their best dresses and suits. It reminded us of our stay at Shnongpdeng in Meghalaya .

Why should you visit Mizoram?

You should visit Mizoram because tourism in Mizoram is completely unadulterated and off the beaten track. The natural beauty of the state is unparalleled. Verdant rolling hills stretch across the horizon. Different shades of green gradually get toned down towards a bluish tint as you keep looking at them.  No wonder Mizoram is also known as the land of blue mountains. In the early morning, the mists from the valleys envelop the hills and mountains in such a way that it feels like a milky white sea. Mizoram also has a number of lakes and waterfalls. Come down to the valleys and you will see stretches of paddy fields surrounded by small hills.

Did you Know? Mizoram has 22 hill ranges of diverse heights.

The Mizos have a rich and culture and they are passionately drawn to singing and dances. The festivals are quite colourful and their songs and dances depict their joyful nature. With so many places to visit in Mizoram, I hope you will definitely find your reason to visit this remote state of India.

Mizoram Tourism | How to reach Mizoram?

The easiest way to reach Mizoram would be by taking a flight to Aizawl, the capital city. Aizawl is connected by direct flights from Kolkata, New Delhi and Guwahati. Other ways to reach Mizoram is long and tedious. Get your flight tickets done early because they usually get costly.

Guwahati to Aizawl If you do not want to spend on flights, then the next easy way is to reach by road. Overnight buses are available from Guwahati , almost 470 km away. Although Google Maps will show you that it takes about 15 hours to cover this distance, rest assured, buses will take almost 20 -22 hours to reach. Buses to Aizawl are available from the ASTC  Bust stand near Guwahati Railway Station and ISBT, Guwahati. I know people who have spent almost 24 hours on the bus. Roads on mountains are highly unpredictable and so keeping buffer time is highly recommended. Shared sumos are also available from Guwahati to Aizawl.

Silchar to Aizawl You can also reach Aizawl from Silchar, Assam. Shared sumos are available from Silchar Sumo Stand just opposite to the Mizoram House in Silchar. The distance between Silchar to Aizawl is about 175 km. Here again, do not get fooled by the time G-maps show you. We had taken this route to Aizawl. Sumo takes about 7-8 hours to Aizawl. Sumos from Silchar to Aizawl is available at 6.30 AM, 11.30 AM, 3 PM and 6 PM. The times are subjected to changes. We arrived at Silchar from Kolkata in the morning and took the sumo at 11.30 AM. The journey started at 12 noon and we reached at 9.30 PM. But our sumo had broken down just 10 km before reaching Aizawl town and we lost about an hour there. Even then, keep aside 7-8 hours for this ride. The conditions of the road are fine as long as it is in Assam. The last stretch of roads to Aizawl is quite bumpy. There are other ways to reach Mizoram as well. From the Silchar stand, we saw sumos available to Champhai and Kolasib as well.

There are sumos available from Imphal, Manipur to Aizawl as well. But we heard the road conditions to be very bad. There is absolutely no guarantee when you would reach your destination and the ride is very bumpy. If you are coming from Manipur to Mizoram, I would suggest you make the journey via Silchar. Take a sumo from Imphal to Silchar and then another one to Aizawl. You might take a little more time, but the journey will be a bit better. By Train There are no railways in Mizoram. The nearest railway station is at Silchar in Assam. From Silchar, take the sumo as I mentioned in the earlier para.

Mizoram Tourism | Getting around Mizoram

Mizoram has a hilly terrain, so some of the roads are not at all good. Mizoram does have a robust sumo service. Almost all the major towns and district headquarters are connected by daily sumos that leave at regular intervals. The villages are also connected by sumo, but their numbers are generally very less. Mizoram is also one of the northeast states where we found that sumos ply also in the night time. And believe me, they are quite safe. We ourselves were a bit sceptical about the night sumo, having known about the treacherous road conditions of the mountains. But believe, the night sumos in Mizoram are quite safe. We had taken night sumo from Champhai to Aizawl and later from Aizawl to Silchar. As far as we had heard, accidents usually do not happen.

So from Aizawl, you will get sumo to almost all the major towns and destinations of Mizoram like Champhai, Thenzawl, Kolasib, Lunglei, Saiha, Serchip, Lawngtlai etc. Sumos are available from Zarkawt Main Street. There are a number of Sumo counters on the street. Just go to one and book your tickets from there. From Zarkawt , there is a flight of stairs that comes down to the market area. Sumos from Champhai are available from there. Wherever you want to go, just go to any sumo counter and ask about the place. They will help you with the time, fare and other details of the sumo. From Zarkawt, you will also get sumos to Silchar. However, sumos to Guwahati is available from some other stand. But there is a sumo counter right at Zarkawt. There is the bus counter also from where you will get bus tickets for Guwahati. While considering our return option, we asked about the bus service. The buses leave at around 2.30 PM and reach Guwahati not before 11.30 the next morning. Volvo buses are available . We saw a couple of them on the road. Renting cars in Mizoram Renting cars in Mizoram can be quite a costly affair. It is unlikely that you will get a small car for rent. Mostly, SUVs are available and they charge Rs30-35 per km. So if you have your own car, it is well and good, otherwise, be ready to pay the high price.

Nevertheless, sumo services in Mizoram between the main towns are quite reliable. Try to get the seats in the front or second row. The third row becomes a bit uncomfortable for people having long legs like me! A word of caution: For going offbeat destinations and villages, get to know about your sumo timings beforehand. Also, go to the counter, meet the driver or any representative and get your seats booked. I am telling you this from our personal experience. I will narrate the experience later. Bike taxis in Aizawl Aizawl has a fleet of bike taxis, i.e there are riders on scooty who will take you to your destinations. They usually charge about Rs20 -30 depending on the destination. But they can ask more from tourists.

Do you need an Inner Line Permit (ILP) for Mizoram?

Yes, you would need Inner Line Permit (ILP) for Mizoram .  And no, you would not get it online . Indian tourists need Inner Line permit to visit Mizoram and they can be obtained from Liason Officer in Mizoram House in Kolkata, Silchar, Shillong, Guwahati and New Delhi. ILP can also be obtained from Lengpui Airport at Aizawl, Mizoram for tourists coming in by flight. Tourists entering from Bairabi and Vairengte can obtain ILP from Sub-Deputy Commissioner, Bairabi and Sub-Divisional Officer Vairengte respectively.

You will need to fill up the ILP form and submit copies of your ID and address proof and two sets of passport-sized photographs. ILP Fees : Rs.120 (Rs.20 for the form and Rs.100 Processing fees). Please note, that citizens of Assam need to show the NRC certificate while obtaining ILP. Validity of ILP: Well, on the website, it is written that ILP can be obtained for 15 days and renewed for another 15 days. But the reality is a bit different. Let me tell you about our experience of getting a Mizoram ILP.

Getting Mizoram ILP

We applied at the Mizoram House at Kolkata located at Singhi Castle Building at Gariahat Road.  I had already downloaded the ILP form from the website , filled it up with the details to submit it there. But there I was told I have to fill it up in the form provided by them. So again I filled up the form and submitted to the officer at Mizoram House. Here again, I arrived at the office at 1 PM. The officer there told me that ILP form can be submitted only till 12 PM. After much request and apologies, she took my form. I had requested for an ILP for 10 days. But there again I was told that ILP will be given only for 7 days. You usually get the ILP on the next working day. However, I think the officer took pity on me and arranged for the ILP on the same day. The Mizoram Houses remains closed on Saturday, Sundays and Public Holidays. If by any chance, you have not got your ILP done, you can get your ILP also at Vairengte Checkpost. Our sumo from Silchar stopped at the Vairengte Gate. There were a few passengers who did not have ILP. But getting ILP from the Vairengte Checkpost is a long process. For 3 passengers, we had to wait for almost 1.5 hours there. Further, the officials here want details of your sponsorship. It becomes difficult to make them understand that a tour is self-sponsored. There was a guy in motorbike who was getting his ILP from the checkpost. He had a hard time getting the ILP. And the passengers from Assam who did not have their NRC certificate were simply denied ILP.

Getting the ILP renewed

If you want to stay for more than 7 days, you need to get your ILP renewed. Renewal can be done at District Commissioner’s Office located at Treasury Square, Aizawl. We went to the Champhai DC office to renew our ILP. There again, we got a new form, filled it up and submitted again (also paid another Rs 140). We wanted to renew for 7 days, but there they renewed the ILP for only 3 days! The lady there simply told us that they cannot renew the ILP for more than 3 days. Fancy wasting an entire day for getting only 3 days permit! I am not quite sure what happen in Aizawl Office. But will you come back to Aizawl again to renew the ILP? So I will recommend you to get different ILPs for your dates. Having said all these, our ILP was not checked even once in our entire trip, even at the checkpost. But the irony is you need to have an ILP. I often wonder why would I need to get a permit to travel within my own country. Even if I had to, I wish the process was easier and online as the ILP in Arunachal Pradesh. For Foreign tourists Foreign tourists no longer require Protected Area Permit for Nagaland. However, they must register themselves at the local Foreigner Registration Office (FRO) of the districts they visit within 24 hours of arrival. But residents of Pakistan, Afghanistan and China are still banned from visiting the PAP restricted area.

Our Mizoram Itinerary

Day 1 | Kolkata – Silchar (by flight) – Aizawl (Sumo) We started from Kolkata, reached Silchar by flight. Flight to Silchar was really cheap compared to Aizawl. Silchar Airport is a small one located quite away from the main town. ASTC buses are available from the airport to the main town. There is an ASTC Bus Counter at Silchar Airport. Otherwise, you can hire a car from the airport to the town and you will cross through the beautiful and green tea gardens of Assam before entering the small town of Silchar. The car fare is Rs1000.

The Sumo stand is just opposite the Mizoram House at Silchar. We booked our sumo tickets, had our lunch and started our journey towards Mizoram at 12 PM. We reached Aizawl at around 9.30 PM after our car breakdown. It was my second car breakdown after Basar .

Day 2 | Aizawl This was a Sunday and so everything was closed in Aizawl. We stayed in the city, roamed around the streets visited the churches and admired the handsome men and beautiful ladies. Later in the afternoon, we visited K V Paradise and Solomon’s Temple.

Day 3 | Aizawl – Champhai We took a sumo early in the morning to Champhai. We reached in the afternoon. Champhai is an extremely beautiful place connected to tourism Mizoram. Located near the Indo-Myanmar border, Champhai district is also known as the Rice Bowl of Mizoram . The place is full of green paddy fields and is so pleasing to the eyes. We stayed at the Champhai Tourist Lodge .

Day 4 | Champhai – Zokawthar – Rih Dil (Myanmar) – Champhai The main attraction of Champhai is definitely the Rih Dil, a lake situated in Myanmar but revered by the Mizos. Zokawthar is the border town just like Moreh in India. We had not thought that after crossing the Indo- Myanmar border last year, we would again visit Myanmar , even though it is only for some time.

In the morning, we took shared sumo to Zokawthar. From there, we crossed the border bridge across the Tiau River. The River forms the natural boundary between the two countries. On crossing the boundary, we had to keep our Adhaar cards with the border security of Myanmar. While we were wondering on how to go to Rih Dil , we found that scooty are available that will take you to the Lake. The distance is hardly 3-4 km and we rode on the back of the rider and they dropped us to Rih Dil, waited there and also brought us back. The scooty took Rs250 per head.

After our visit to Rih Dil, we came back to Champhai and visited the wine factory. We wanted to see the vineyards, but it was not the season. The vines were all dried up. So we scrapped the plan. If you want to see the vines in season, visit during August.

Day 5 | Champhai – Aizawl We explored Champai area on foot and also went to the DC office to get our ILP renewed. We were supposed to leave for Vangchhia in the afternoon. Well, then the sumo fiasco happened!

Our sumo fiasco It so happened, that we were at Champhai and had planned to visit Vangchhia next. We asked a local person about sumo to Vangchhia and he gave us the phone number of the sumo driver. We called him, but could not understand a word of what he said. He was speaking in his own dialect and did not understand English. So we again got hold of another local and asked him to talk to the sumo driver on our behalf. He talked with him and told us that sumo to Vangchhia is available the next day and it will pick us up from Champhai Tourist Lodge at 1 PM. So we were quite happy that our next sumo was arranged and we did not have to visit the sumo counter. But that was the mistake we made. What happened the next day was totally uncalled for. The next morning, we requested the manager cum cook cum caretaker of the Champhai tourist lodge to speak to the Vangchhia sumo driver to confirm. He spoke to the driver and got the confirmation. So we checked out of the tourist lodge at 12 PM and were waiting for our sumo. It was going to pick us up from the Tourist Lodge itself. It was 1 PM, then 1.30, the sumo did not arrive yet. I started calling on the drivers’ number and he did not pick up the call. It was 2 PM and then 3 PM, yet no news of the sumo driver and he refused to pick up our calls. We were in Champhai for already 2 days, our next plans were almost fixed and we checked out of the lodge too. We were just sitting at the lobby with our backpacks without knowing what to do. Finally We called up at the Aizawl sumo counter (the number we got while coming to Champhai). They told us that the sumo to Vangchhia already left. Well, he went without taking us! It took us a moment to sink in. So that day, we have nowhere to go and we have to also look for a place to stay. I called up the sumo counter again to ask about the next day’s sumo. And he had another bad news for us. The next day, there was some sumo owners’ convention and so no sumos will be running! Well, now that was another problem as our leaves were limited! I think I sounded really sad and desperate on the phone. The person on the other end suggested that we might consider going to Aizawl that night itself as night sumos to Aizawl were available. We were a bit sceptical to take the night sumo but then decided to take it. We asked him to book two seats for us in the sumo. This time also, the guy at the sumo counter said whether he will pick us up from the Tourist Lodge. I almost shouted “No”. Once bitten, twice shy. I am not going to repeat the mistake. So we took our baggage and went straight to the sumo counter in the market area. We bought our tickets, identified our sumo and finally sat down after taking a long breath! Whoa! What a day of misadventures! Vangchhia was cancelled for this trip.

The road to Thenzawl goes through a place where the Tropic of Cancer passes through . The sumo driver was good enough to stop the sumo there for some time so that we can take some photographs. He was so good after the one who stranded us at Champhai. We reached Thenzawl and booked a car there and visited the Vantwang Falls and the Tuirihiau Falls .

Vantwang Falls is a vision. You cannot really go close to the waterfall and have to see it from a distance at the viewpoint. Even from a distance, it looks amazing. Tuirihiau falls is special because we could go behind the falls. Both of them were extremely gorgeous. From Thenzawl, we came back to Hmuifang. We had a hard time getting sumo for Hmuifang as it was almost late. We had to wait a long time before we got a car that dropped us to Hmuifang. Hmuifang is a small hill station and has some great views of the mountains and valleys. Hmuifang lies between Aizawl and Thenzawl. We stayed at the Hmuifang Tourist Lodge for the night. Day 7 | Hmuifang – Aizawl Early mornings in Hmuifang is beautiful with the mist rolling in and clouds hanging over the hills. We felt that we could spend the entire day there simply looking at the clouds coming and going. There is not much to do here. This is a place to relax. And well, we enjoyed the stay after all our hectic sumo journeys. Later in the afternoon, we returned to Aizawl.

Here again, we found it difficult to get a vehicle for Aizawl a bit difficult. All the sumos that were coming from Thenzawl or Serchhip were already full. We had to wait a long time before we got 2 seats in sumo. Day 8 | Aizawl – Reiek – Aizawl So we had another day and we decided to give a visit to Reiek. We hired a car for Reiek as we could not find any proper public vehicle for Reiek that would suit our time.

Reiek is another delightful place and is also the venue of the Anthurium festival. The festival was celebrated just a few days back and so Reiek was decorated quite beautifully. A model Mizo village was also built for the visitors there. We climbed up Reiek Peak and took a visit to the model village. After that, we were back at Aizawl. From Aizawl, we took night sumo to Silchar. Now that we had already done a night journey, we had no qualms in doing it again. The only problem that we faced was that the sumo dropped us at Silchar at 3.00 AM and our train to Agartala was at 8 AM. We had to wait for 5 long hours at the railway station which did not even have a proper waiting room.

 Mizoram Tourism | Where to stay?

The best places to stay in Mizoram are Tourist Lodges run by Mizoram Tourism department. They are located at strategic locations and are quite cheaper compared to hotels. Aizawl has a number of hotels, but we found the hotel rent to be comparatively higher compared to the service and standard. Well, the Mizoram is quite remote and understandably the cost of living is higher here. There is a travellers Inn at Aizawl that has single rooms for Rs350. But the hostel is quite basic. Champhai also has a few hotels.

Phone number of some Tourist Lodges run by Mizoram Tourism

• Chaltlang T/L (Aizawl) : (0389) 2341083/ 2349421
• Champhai T/L : (03831) 235866/ 9436143518
• Hmuifang T/L : 9436379544
• Reiek T/L : 9366078543
• Thenzawl T/L : 03838-261489/ 9612065527/ 9863352362
• Zokawthar T/L : 8415841566

Mizoram Tourism | What is the best time to visit?

You can visit Mizoram throughout the year. The best time will be between October to March. The monsoon season should be avoided as the roads get treacherous during the rains.

Tourism in Mizoram & Travel Guide (FAQ’s Answered)

Q. Is it safe to travel in Mizoram?

Mizoram is absolutely safe to travel. The people are friendly and there are usually no issues in the state.

Q. How is mobile and internet connectivity?

The main cities and town have proper mobile and internet connectivity. Vodafone and Jio work fine there. The remote places do not have proper connectivity though. We did not have any mobile connectivity at Hmuifang and a very poor one at Reiek and Thenzawl.

Q. Is permit required to visit Mizoram?

Yes, ILP is required to visit Mizoram. It has been already covered. Q. Are there ATMs in Mizoram? The main towns have a number of ATMs. We found sufficient ATMs in Aizawl, Thenzawl and Champhai. Reiek and Huifang did not have any ATM.

Q.How is the local transport in Mizoram?

You need to take a sumo to travel across Mizoram. The sumo services are quite robust and covers almost all the areas of the state. In Aizawl, taxis and bike taxis are available for commuting. We even saw a few buses, but they were less in number.

Q. How is the food? Is vegetarian food available?

The food is quite tasty. The best thing we found in Mizoram is community dining. The hotels (I am not talking about fancy restaurants here) will provide a sumptuous meal at a fixed rate. All the places we ate on the road charged Rs150 per head. A table would have 6-8 chairs. They would provide a large array of dishes on a table and all the people sitting at the table would have to eat together. They would fill up the bowls and dishes again with food if it finished. You can eat as much as you want. But you have to eat together with a few strangers on the road. I found this concept of community eating quite interesting.

Q. What to carry in Mizoram?

Carry your ID cards and keep it safe. As for clothes, do carry some woollens and jackets whenever you plan to visit Mizoram. And in winters do carry sufficient woollens and scarves.

Q. Is Mizoram expensive?

Travelling in Mizoram by rented car is a tad bit expensive. Hotels also are expensive compared to the price of the room. We had travelled across Mizoram in shared sumos and stayed at the Tourist Lodges. They are fairly priced. We had food at the local restaurants and as we mentioned before, these places provide a meal for Rs150 per head which consists of chicken, pork, rice and vegetables in a large amount.

Q. What are other places of interest in Mizoram?

Mizoram is known as the land of the Blue Mountains . And this Blue Mountain can be seen at Lawngtlai. The Phawngpui Peak is the highest peak in Mizoram and is known as the Blue mountain. Another interesting place is Tam Dil , a lake located in Saitual, a village, about 110 km from Aizawl. Vangchhia , the place that we missed is known for its archaeological findings. A lot of menhirs had been found there that might have a link with Mizoram’s past. Vangchhia is located near Champhai.

Q. Anything else that we should know?

• Mizoram practically remains full closed on Sunday. Fewer sumos run on Sundays. So plan your trip and itinerary accordingly.
• The local people are no doubt very good and honest. But for renting cars, bike taxis etc from the road, they quote a high amount, that they usually do not charge from the local population. Like the other states, they also try to get a maximum amount from the tourists. So you have to bargain with the taxi drivers and bike taxi drivers for a fair price.

Mizoram is really a beautiful and interesting place. Take time to visit this northeast state of India. You might not find the best of infrastructure here, but the experience will be worth all your trouble. We also faced a few problems with the ILP, sumo service and all, but all these are a part of travel. Inspite of all these, we loved Mizoram and would visit the place again. We will also recommend you to take a visit to the land of the Lushai Highlanders. Did you like the post? Please let us know in comments below. Pin this for a later read!!

Complete Mizoram Guide for tourists

We travelled to Tripura & Mizoram in November 2022. We were very excited because this was the first trip after Covid were there were no restrictions or requirements of wearing masks etc. We did a few short trips last year but they were all with due precautions and we did not do anything out of the regular touristy places; so I did not blog about them.

Planning for this trip to North east took a lot of time and energy because there were not many resources we could refer to. The blogs and travelogues were very old and there were many conflicting information we were getting from people we spoke to. I would have ideally wanted to write a very detailed blog; but it has been 6 months since we came back and I thought of posting whatever I have been able to write till now. Things have been really hectic so I am not able to mention everything in detail. If you are visiting Mizoram or Tripura and would like to know any specific detail not covered in this blog; do comment and I will connect with you.

I hope this guide helps tourists, backpackers, and trekkers planning a trip to Mizoram.

Mizoram is one of the states in North East India, part of the seven sisters. It has borders with 2 countries (Myanmar and Bangladesh) & 3 Indian states (Assam, Tripura and Manipur). Mizoram has Myanmar to its east and south and Bangladesh to its west. Tripura is on Mizoram’s northwest, Assam in the North and Manipur on Northeast. The maps below will give you an idea of the location of this tiny and beautiful state.

Aizawl is the capital city and is Mizoram’s connection to rest of the India.

Mizoram was a part of Assam from 1947 till 1987. The Mizo National Front founded by Laldenga fought for Mizo’s independence and the Mizoram Peace accord was signed which made Mizoram 23rd state of India on 20th February 1987.

Best Time to Visit Mizoram

November to May are good seasons to visit Mizoram. Mizoram has 3 seasons: Summer (March to May), Rainy (May to October) and Winter (November to March). Summers are not too hot because of the altitude (temperature is around 20-25 degrees), winters are cold with temperature between 10-20 degrees but the landscape is absolutely breathtaking. Mizoram gets rain due to southwest monsoon between May to October. Rainy season is definitely avoidable because movement is restricted and the hilly roads are dangerous to drive.

So to sum it up, Mizoram is a good destination to visit in all months except the rainy season.

We found Mizoram very unique and different from the rest of the Indian states. Mizoram literally means land of the hilly people: Mi (people), Zo (high rise such as hills or mountains) and Ram (land).

Some of the reasons we found it interesting are:

• Culture and Identity : Mizos are very proud of their culture and identity and rightly so because its very distinct and unique. Its a tribal state and most inhabitants belong to some tribe or the other. There is a very strong connect with Chinese and Burmese culture. The Mizo language has no trace of Sanskrit like most of the Indian languages. Mizos hold their beliefs and values very strongly; which reflects in their day-to-day life and behaviour with others. The art, music & dances, festivals, textiles, cuisine are all very unique to Mizo.
• Scenic landscape : Without doubt, Mizoram was one of the most scenic states we have visited in India. It is one of the most unexplored places and its a nature lover’s haven. It has mesmerizing landscapes, dense bamboo jungles and evergreen hills. It is also known as the land of Blue Mountains with cascading waterfalls and rivulets.
• Cleanliness : This one stood out for me. Aizawl is one of the cleanest city we have seen in India. And we could see why it was so when we went for a morning walk on a Saturday. Teenagers were out with shovels and brooms cleaning their street. A father was teaching his young son how to pick up some garbage from the roadside. Most village entrances had a board about keeping the village clean. We could see public urinals in most parts of Aizawl being maintained and used by people.
• Education : Mizoram has one of the highest literacy rates in India, 3rd only after Kerala and Lakshadweep. There are about 2000 schools in the state; which makes its 1 for every 100 kids. Every village in Mizoram has a village education committee.
• Commitment to protect environment : Mizoram government banned crackers and fireworks in the state in 2009 to protect the environment.
• Geographical significance : Tropic of cancer passes through 8 states in India, Mizoram being one of them. Other states being Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Tripura. We passed tropic of cancer on our way from Aizawl to Hmuifang.
• Women Empowerment : Mizoram is a patriarchial society and there is a lot of work that needs to be done for women empowerment and equality. However, compared to rest of the India; women play significant role in development of the society in this small state. As per some studies done in 2022, Mizoram has the highest 70.9 per cent ratio of female-to-male workers among those working as legislators, senior officials and managers. Most of shops in streets and on roadside are run by women in Mizoram. Sainik School Chhingchhip in Mizoram was the first to admit girl cadets in 2018. In general, except for driving taxi; we could see women equally participative as men in Mizoram.

Having said all this, we were very disappointed with the smoking and drinking habits of Mizos. Officially, alcohol is banned in Mizoram. But it is very much visible. We had to specify to our cab agency to send a driver who does not smoke and drink. While we were assured he would not smoke in the car, he was free to do that outside once the duty was over. Teenagers could be seen smoking. Both men and women smoke and drink and the state has one of the highest cases of cancer affecting their lung, esophagus & stomach.

How to go to Mizoram:

Aizawl has a domestic airport & has direct flights from 6 Indian cities (as of December 2022) – Agartala in Tripura, Guwahati in Assam, Shillong in Meghalaya, Imphal in Manipur, Delhi and Kolkata.

Agartala <-> Aizawl: 45 mins (Alliance Air) Shillong <-> Aizawl: 1 hr (Indigo) Guwahati <-> Aizawl: Approx 1 hr (Indigo and Alliance Air) Kolkata <-> Aizawl: Approx 1 hr 15 mins (Indigo and Air India) Delhi <-> Aizawl: 2 hr 45 mins (Indigo) Imphal <-> Aizawl: 45 mins (Alliance Air)

Note that these flights do not fly everyday. Also, given the terrain; flights can get cancelled because of the weather. So keep a plan B when considering any of the flights. We learnt it the hard way when our flight from Agartala to Aizawl got cancelled and there were no flights on that day or the next. We had to take the road from Agartala to Aizawl.

Silchar in Assam is the most connected city to Aizawl. It is 164kms and it takes 6-8 hrs by road. The terrain is hilly so night driving is not recommended. There are buses available on this route (NH 54) Kumarghat in Tripura is also connected to Aizawl by road. This is the road we took. To our surprise though, this was not recommended. Most tour operators & drivers in Tripura discouraged us from doing this; saying the road is bad and unsafe. On the other hand, the operator in Aizawl who was providing us taxi in Mizoram was confident the route was doable and the roads were quite manageable for an experienced driver. He said a small stretch was under construction but since rains had stopped completely; it was safe too. The driving time was again debatable and kept getting conflicting information. Since we had no choice (with a cancelled flight, no flight for next 2 days and another flight back home in 5 days from Aizawl), we decided to try it anyways. We covered this approx 200kms in 6.5 hrs and it was a fairly good ride. I will write a detailed blog on this topic too.

Note for those who want to drive into Aizawl or any other part of Mizoram: The ghat road drive is not easy and at many places its single lane driving. Navigating these stretches require a good, experienced driver and a good vehicle. Tata Sumo, Scorpio, Innova or a 4WD are good for these roads. We did see Altos also, but assuming they are very experienced with these roads. Infact, most of the airport taxis in Aizawl are Maruti Alto.

Details of Inner Line Permit for Mizoram

Everyone entering Mizoram, including Indians require an Inner Line Permit (ILP).

Domestic Tourists: Two types of ILP can be issued for Indians:

• Temporary Mizoram ILP – 15 days at a time which can be renewed once for another 15 days.
• Fees to be paid – Rs.20 Application Form, Rs.100 Processing Fee, Rs.20 for Renewal Fee
• Requirements – 4 passport size photo and a photo ID
• Regular Mizoram ILP (This is for those non-Mizos who are to be employed by Mizos for work purposes) – 6 months at a time which can be renewed twice for another 6 months each. However, sponsorship from a local resident or a Government Department is required. Requirements for Regular Mizoram ILP – 4 passport size photos, a photo ID, 2 passport size photos of the sponsor.

Is anyone exempted from Mizoram ILP requirement

Yes. Government employees travelling for official purposes are exempted from obtaining ILP but are required to carry a photo identification card with them at all times.

ILP requirement for bordering states Assam and Tripura

For tourists originating from Cachar, Hailakandi and Karimganj Districts of Assam State, Electoral Roll details are required due to porous international boundary with Bangladesh and so is the case with persons coming from the state of Tripura.

Tourists entering from Bairabi and Vairengte can obtain ILP from Sub-Deputy Commissioner, Bairabi and Sub-Divisional Officer Vairengte respectively.

Mizoram ILP for International Tourists: All foreign nationals have to register themselves at the office of Superintendent of Police (CID/SB) Mizoram who is the designated Foreigners Registration Officer (FRO) of the State within 24 hours of arrival.

Citizens of Afghanistan, China and Pakistan and foreign nationals having their origin in these countries would continue to require prior approval of the Ministry of Home Affairs before entering the state.

For those reaching Aizawl by air: Tourists entering Aizawl by air can obtain passes from the Security Officer on arrival at Lengpui Airport, Aizawl. For those travelling by road, ILPs can be obtained in advance at any of these Mizoram houses:

How to obtain Mizoram ILPs when travelling by road:

Temporary ILPs can also be obtained at these border checkpoints, subject to approval by the in-charge. Since we were supposed to fly to Aizawl and had to take road instead, we obtained ILPs this way. Following are the authorized checkpoints:

• Officer-in-charge of Kanhmun Police Station (if entering from Tripura)
• Administrative Officer, Bairabi (if entering from Assam)
• SDO© Ngopa (if entering from Manipur)

These are authorized to issue Temporary ILP in Form E for a period not exceeding 15(fifteen) days to bonafide visitors/tourists or business representatives with intimation to the concerned Deputy Commissioner.

Coveringmiles Suggestion : It is best to obtain the ILP in advance, unless in a circumstance like ours. Travel agents in Mizoram usually will help out with the ILP. However, for them the offline process takes time, so keep around 10 days in hand before you travel if you ask them to apply on your behalf.

Mizoram government is working on releasing a portal to make it easier for tourists to obtain ILP online. As of November 2022, the website is still not launched officially. You can check the current status on https://ilp.mizoram.gov.in/ to know if it is launched officially.

Mizoram is a hilly state mainly made up of Mizo hills. These are part of the Rakhine (Arakan) mountain range. That makes the entire region full of slopes and cliffs. Given this, the roads are not very wide and require an expert driver who is well versed with ghat roads to navigate through them. Roads in general are quite good. However, given the terrain; there are no alternate routes for most places if the road is closed or under construction. The road between Aizawl to Champhai was under construction when we visited in November 2022 and a distance of 180 kms was taking more than 7 hrs (sometimes even upto 10 hrs) depending on the traffic. Ensure you plan your days keeping this in mind and do not pack a lot of to-do things in a day.

Traffic in Mizoram:

Traffic discipline in Mizoram is the best in India. Rest of the India has lot of learn about driving sense from this small state. People patiently wait in queues in traffic, no one cuts lane and there is absolutely no honking unless there is an emergency. We could see a km or more of jam on one side of the road while the traffic on the other side moved at a steady pace. We have heard of the same in Nagaland and Meghalaya also, but yet to experience it. I found this answer on quora by a resident of Aizawl very apt in describing this behaviour: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-secret-behind-the-showcase-of-a-so-well-traffic-discipline-by-the-people-of-Aizawl-Mizoram-as-we-can-see-in-the-viral-images-and-videos

Mizoram is a hilly state but it is not at a very high altitude compared to other hill stations in India. To compare, Ooty is at 2240mts, Kodaikanal at 2133mtrs, Shimla is at 2276mts while the highest point in Mizoram is 1678mts. Mizo hills are ridges that run parallel to each other. These ridges are separated by narrow river valleys. These are what make the terrain of Mizoram full or slopes and cliffs.

Mizoram’s cities are not gigantic metros. They are quiet and pretty towns, some of them only slighly bigger than villages. Aizawl being the capital city is the most densely populated.

Total population of Mizoram: ~12.7 Lakhs Population of Aizawl: ~3.87 Lakhs

The main cities in Mizoram are

Mizoram is a place for slow travel. This is a destination where you enjoy best if you soak in the culture, make connections with locals, enjoy local cuisine and live like a local if possible 🙂 You will need at least 10 days if you need to cover the best places in Mizoram. These would be cities in and around Champhai, Hmuifang, Reiek Peak, Tamdil. If you have more time, you can also plan for Phawngpui (also called Blue Mountains) which is the highest peak of Mizoram.

Mizoram is also a place where tourist places close early; so you cannot pack a lot of things to do in 1 day.

We went in November and we had planned for 2 weeks in Tripura and Mizoram. Our idea was to spend 1 week in each of these states. However, when booking flight from Agartala to Aizawl and hotels etc; we realized that the Myanmar insurgency issue was very delicate and tourists were not being allowed to cross the Myanmar border (which is usually allowed). Going to Champhai and not going to Rih Dil lake in Myanmar did not sound like a very smart plan, so we decided to skip east Mizoram and cover that later. Also, the flights from Agartala to Aizawl were not available everyday. So we finally decided to do 9N/9D in Tripura and 5N/5D in Mizoram. However, at the last moment our flight to Aizawl from Agartala got cancelled and we had to go by road. This meant 1 more day of travel and reduced our time in Mizoram by a day. Our final Mizoram itenerary was:

Day 1: Take train from Agartala to Kumarghat. Hire a taxi from Kumarghat and reach Aizawl by 5pm. Day 2: Local sighseeing at Aizawl (KV Paradise, Solomon’s Temple). Leave for Reiek peak by 11, reach by lunch. Trek up the peak. Back to Aizawl by evening. Day 3: Take a taxi and go to Hmuifang via Lalsavunga Park & Falkawn village. Stay overnight at Hmuifang Day 4: Go to Vantawng falls, Dilpui Park. Stay overnight at Hmuifang (this was a Sunday and everything is closed on Sundays in Mizoram). We could not visit Tuirihiau Falls or Deer park because they were both closed. Day 5: Back to Aizawl. Local sightseeting (Mizoram State Museum) at Aizawl. Overnight at Aizawl. Day 6: Fly back to Chennai via Kolkata.

Mizoram has very limited options when it comes to accommodation for tourists. There are no homestays in places other than Aizawl. The government accommodations are small and have limited rooms. But not many tourists visit Mizoram, so I think these suffice. However, I would advise you to book in advance if possible. The good part is booking is very easy online. You can book government lodges on https://www.mizoramtourism.com/booking . This was one of the rare instances where government website is so smooth and modern. The only information missing is phone number of the lodges which makes it difficult to communicate before or after the booking.

We stayed at the government accommodation at Hmuifang and were quite happy with the room, service etc. Do not expect any 5-star service. If your expectations are low and reasonable, you will not be disappointed.

One of the luxury properties that Mizoram government is promoting is the Thenzawl Golf Resort. You can check it out on Thenzawl Golf Resort . We did not consider this because it was out of the way and we wanted to have more local experience. I am glad we did so because the views from Hmuifang were just breathtaking.

Food in Mizoram is quite decent. We were more disappointed with food in Tripura than in Mizoram. Also, unlike what we read and heard; getting vegetarian food is not difficult. However, you will not get variety like you get elsewhere. If you go with the expectation to have roti, naan, dal, different choices of vegetables or even customization like no onion etc; that would not be possible. Forget getting South Indian or North Indian food in places other than Aizawl (even in Aizawl it would be average if you can find some!). Most of the Mizos eat non-veg on a daily basis and pork, chicken is commonly found. We found that mostly the base of the dish is vegetarian. So, if you order pork or chicken noodles / rice; they just spread the meat on top of vegetarian noodles/rice.

My son and husband are vegetarians while I eat chicken, fish and egg. We mostly ordered vegetarian because I did not like the chicken I had a couple of times in Mizoram. The preparation was not something that I preferred; but food is a very personal choice so I would suggest those who eat non-veg to try and then decide.

Check with your accommodation if they can make Mizo local dishes. Our homestay in Aizawl made Mizo special dinner was us and we were very happy to taste some of their local dishes 🙂 

When travelling in Mizoram, you will find many roadside restaurants. Most of them serve Mizo meal. They will serve all the dishes on a long table, and everyone can come and join the table to share the meal. We stopped at one place where our driver had this meal. This one has chicken, pork and beef along with potato stew and some banana soup. It costs anywhere between 200-250 per person depending on where you have it. You should not miss this Mizo experience if you have pork and beef etc.

Nghahloh Dawr (Shop without a shopkeeper): This is a beautiful concept in Mizoram where shopkeepers keep their produce with prices written against each and a jar for money. Buyers can deposit the money & take the produce. No need of any vigilance 🙂

The answer would be No. There is a lack of information on Tripura and Mizoram and that made planning the trip extremely difficult. I can also now confidently say that the tour agents in Tripura mislead and provide false information (very authoritatively too!). Some of the information that would have helped us plan better was:

Travel from Jampui Hills to Amarpur : We were told by multiple tour operators that the road from Jampui to Amarpur is in extremely bad condition and it is not advisable to go that way. So we came back to Agartala from Jampui and went to Udaipur / Amarpur from Agartala. This meant 1 extra day of travel. Our driver later mentioned that he has travelled on that road and it is quite okay. Road from Tripura to Mizoram : We booked a flight from Agartala to Aizawl. This is not a daily flight which mean we could either spend 7 days in Tripura or 9. Given we were not going to east Mizoram and had to do another Mizoram trip for that; we decided to cover Tripura completely. Had we known there was an option to go to Mizoram by road from Tripura; we would have planned better and saved 2 days (would have planned Jampui at the end and exited Tripura from there). Even after our flight to Aizawl was cancelled, we were advised to go to Silchar in Assam and then go to Aizawl. Multiple drivers / tour agents said the road cannot be taken; even through our tour agent in Aizawl said it’s possible to come by road.

Road from Kanhmun to Mizoram – Once this gets over, the road would be much smoother and faster

Visit to Champhai and Rihdil lake : Champhai district falls in the eastern part of Mizoram and is considered one of the most beautiful landscapes in Mizoram. It also has borders with Myanmar and Indians are allowed to cross the border and visit Rih Dil lake; which is around 15 kms into Myanmar. When we were planning the trip and booking hotels; this area was not safe for tourists because of insurgency and the borders were temporarily closed. Given the lack of hotels in Mizoram; we had to take a decision to visit western Mizoram in this trip and not go towards Champhai. However, the borders opened around 15 days before the actual travel dates; but it was late to change our itinerary. We did not have enough days to cover both sides. Ideally, we would have wanted to visit Champhai too. Next time 🙂

One of the things that I found in Mizoram (unlike Tripura) was locals were very helpful. We did not find any misleading information. If someone did not have the right information, they either said so or directed us to the right person. We were not satisfied with the car rental we took or the drivers we found, so I cannot recommend anyone confidently. I will list down the numbers and you can talk to them to see if it works for you.

Some of the contacts that one may find useful in planning the trip are:

"Where nature's spirit dwells"

Mizoram, india.

Known as the 'Songbird of India', the northeastern state of Mizoram is one of the smallest states in India. The moderate climate of Mizoram, which is comfortable even in during summer makes it an attractive destination for all the tourists. The vast culture and grand festivals of the state have a unique, irresistible charm which can not be explained or read; it can only be felt once you are in the peaceful, serene land of Mizoram. The dense greenery and the 21 hill ranges that stretch throughout the territory of Mizoram is sure to take you surrounded to a different world. An Inner Line Pass is required to enter Mizoram. 

Mizoram offers you a calm, serene atmosphere with exciting outdoor activities in the beautiful lush green surroundings which keeps you close to the peaceful nature. With grand festivals, happy people wearing colourful traditional costumes, Mizoram welcomes you to explore its beauty and richness. Don't forget to stop by the tribal artisans and get amazed by their unique talent and pick a traditional shawl for yourself as a souvenir. For non-vegetarian people, the food of the state will be a real treat while vegetarians will have to choose carefully from the dishes. If you love to be in nature's arms, then Mizoram is the place for you! Indians need an Inner Line Permit (ILP) to enter the state. The cost is INR 170 for a 15-day permit. The process to get an extension is slightly difficult. One can get an ILP documentation done at the Lengpui Airport in Aizwal.

Holidify's opinion on Travel to Mizoram

What's great about travelling to mizoram.

Picturesque landscapes. Balmy weather almost throughout the year.

What's Not So Great about Travelling to Mizoram?

Under-developed infrastructure. Might face transportation problems since there is only one airport in the state in Aizwal. Also, getting a public transport in late evening is difficult since the state usually shuts down by 6:00 PM.

An Insight into Mizoram Tourism

Mizoram Tourism is about enjoying all that nature has to offer, in the forms of lakes, valleys and rivers. A first time tourist may be surprised by the dense greenery that accompanies him everywhere. The state boasts as many as 21 hill ranges which extend throughout the state. The hills gain in height as they stretch from west to east. A major feature of its landscape are the lakes and rivers.

Some of the famous rivers of the state are Tut, Tlawng, Tuirial and Tuivawl. There are several lakes scattered across the state, and you can enjoy a boat ride on many of them. Those in search of adventure will find it in abundance here, thanks to the dense forests and places located at higher altitudes including Hmuifang Tlang and Vanzau. In many of its towns and cities you come across historical sites which witnessed a significant episode in its history.

Many of the popular tourist places in Mizoram are also to be found in its cities and towns, the most famous of which are Aizawl, Champhai, Khawbung, Lunglei and Thenzawl. One of the top places to visit in Aizawl is Baktawng Village, where you come across the largest family in the world. This village is also home to Ziona Chana, a man who holds the Guiness World Record for the World’s Largest Family with 39 wives, 91 children, 33 grandchildren and 14 children in law.

The district of Champai is very famous for the Murlen National Park. What makes this park special is the thickness of its forest covers, which has drawn comparisons to the forests found in the Amazon region in South America. The district of Thenzawl is also famous for one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the northeast. Located at a distance of about 137 km from Aizawl, Vantawng Falls are the highest waterfalls in the state and fall from a height of almost 750 ft. Although it can only be viewed from a distance, that hardly matters because even then it is an incredible sight. There is a tower from where you can view the waterfall.

Mizoram is also popular for its lakes, with the two most famous among them being Palak Dil and Tam Dil. Palak Dil lake is one of the largest natural lakes in Mizoram and located in close proximity to a village called Phura. It may not seem like it at first sight, but this lake is home to a thriving wildlife.

Beside some wetland and hill birds, it is also visited by Pintail Ducks during winters. Surrounded by mountain ranges on three sides, its isolation does much to enhance its beauty. The other famous lake is Tam Dil. Also known as Lake of Mustard, it lies in the midst of thick vegetation. Its waters are so clear that they reflect the huts, trees and mountains surrounding them. In 2010, a new frog species called leptolalax tamdil (its scientific name) was spotted at this lake.

Exploring the wildlife is another of the sightseeing & tourist attractions in Mizoram. Two of the famous parks here are Dampa Tiger Reserve and Murlen National Park. Dampa Tiger Reserve is the largest wildlife sanctuary in the state and is dominated by tropical forests.

It is a part of Project Tiger and is home to a variety of flora and fauna. Several rare ginger species have been reported in the park. Even though it is called a tiger reserve, it is home to a very large number of clouded leopards. Murlen National Park, besides its flora and fauna, is famous for the thickness of its vegetation cover. It is so thick that only a fraction of sunlight manages to penetrate through it. The park is also home to trees that are over 350 years old. Apart from these two wildlife parks, there is Lengteng Wildlife Sanctuary which is located in the Champhai district. It is named after Mt. Lengteng which is the second highest mountain in the state with a height of 2141m. A particular attraction in this park is Vavu, the endangered state bird. Some of the mammals found in the park are leopard, slow loris, stump tailed macaque and Asiatic black bear. Rhododendrons and cherry are prominently noticeable by their presence.

Another of the must visit places during your trip to Mizoram is the village of Falkawn. In this village, you get to observe the traditional lifestyle of the people. It was created by the Department of Art and Culture and has been modelled after the villages inhabited by the Lusei tribe. In the village, you also come across an enormous stone commemorating the lives of Mizo people who lost their lives fighting against British colonisation.

If you are an avid paragliding fan, then you should visit the district of Serchhip. Located in the central part of the state, it also attracts trekking enthusiasts in large numbers. A major crowd puller of this district is the sinkhole which goes by the name of Tuilut. Locals, and certainly the visitors, are confounded by the enormous crack on the ground which is fed by a stream without any outlet. This phenomenon increases in intensity with the arrival of the monsoon season when the increased supply of rainfed water empties itself into it. It is believed that the sinkhole has a height of about 40 ft from the entrance and can be explored upto 213 m.

The district of Serchhip is also home to one of the most important historical places to visit in northeast India, North Vanlaiphai. It is the only village to be bombed by Japanese fighter planes during World War 2. This incident occurred on 28th March, 1944 and the Japanese had bombed it because the British government had built a hospital there. Even though the hospital was built in 1913 and bombed subsequently, it has not suffered any noticeable damage and stands as a reminder of the British rule and the unfortunate bombing.

The Charm of Mizoram: A 7-day Itinerary

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETDVckCsMTc

Mizoram, or the land of the Mizos, is where you’ll see all stereotypes reversed, no discrimination on the basis of caste or gender, fresh invigorating mountain air, immense natural beauty and a number of joyous festivals to keep you occupied. Adventure buffs, solace seekers, culture enthusiasts and travellers in love with offbeat experiences are sure to have a memorable time in Mizoram. It is highly recommended that you visit Mizoram in spring, when the entire state celebrates the festival of Chapchar Kut. Here’s a handy itinerary to help you plan your trip in the first week of March when the festival is held.

On reaching Aizawl, head straight to Mizoram’s largest church, Solomon's Temple. The church’s architecture, the backdrop of the hills and the peaceful environs make this place one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city. Built by the religious group Kohhran Thianghlim, the structure takes inspiration from Solomon’s Temple of Jerusalem and was opened to public very recently in 2017.

In the evening, head to flea market of Bara Bazar to shop for souvenirs and handicrafts. The vibrant market is also a great place for you to understand the culture of the city, and to meet and greet locals. People from nearby villages and tribes flock to the market with their traditional wicker baskets to sell a wide range of local delights.

The delicious Misa Mach Poora is a must try!

Spend the day participating in the celebrations of Mizoram’s harvest festival, also its most colourful one. Join in the fervour as groups from different tribes perform folk dances such as Darbu, Cheraw (using bamboo sticks) and more.

It is during the Chapchar Kut festival that you’ll see the otherwise quiet city coming alive with enthusiasm and zeal as people, clad in their traditional dresses, get together for the week-long extravaganza marking the beginning of the sowing season. A truly enriching experience, this festival gives you a chance to get up close and personal with the various traditions, rituals and art forms of Mizoram.

Early today, leave for Reiek, just about 30 kilometres away from Aizwal. Have breakfast at a local eatery in the nearby village and then get set to trek to Reiek Peak. The trek takes about 4-5 hours and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys and hills all along. If it is not too cloudy or foggy, you can even spot the Bangladesh plains from the top.

A 3-hour drive from Reiek will take you to the quaint village of Hmuifang, located at an elevation of 1619 metres. If you are among those travellers who would rather go off the beaten path, this hamlet is made for you. Opt for some of the many nature trails in the mountains here and you’ll be greeted with incredible views. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes, carry enough water and a light-weight backpack as some trails can be harder than the others.

Situated 22 kilometres from Champhai, the Rih Dil Lake is deeply rooted in Mizo tribal folklore and although disputed with Myanmar, the lake is accessible to the people of Mizo and tourists with special permissions.

The folklore behind the Rih Dil Lake is a story of a girl named Rihi, who after consuming a magical leaf transformed into a pool of water to quench the thirst of her sister. The lake can only be visited by people from India if special permission from the Deputy Commissioner’s Office is obtained.

On the whole, Mizoram is a great place for tourists and travellers to kick back and relax. This serene hilly state, where nature and its people come together, offers an amazing and unique experience that you will cherish for a lifetime.

Here is a list of the top 10 Mizoram tourist places if you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

Aizawl, the capital of the Indian state of Mizoram, is on a hilltop 1,132 metres above sea level in the country’s northeast. Aizawl and its environs are beautiful, hilly, and verdant since the Mizo Tribe is the dominant population. Both the city and the rest of the state are well-known for the high quality of their farm products and their traditional craftsmanship and clothing.  Pronounced eye-zole, Aizawl is considered one of the oldest towns in the region. It is the ideal spot to unwind while experiencing the cuisine and the culture of the area.

The Lengpui Airport serves as Aizawl’s very own transportation hub. Aizawl is connected to other major cities in India, including Shillong, Guwahati, and Kolkata, by frequent flights. Outside the terminal, cabs are readily available for rides across the city.

Serchhip, located in Mizoram, is one of the places in India that is most well-known for having the highest educational attainment, and it is a site capable of providing you with an atmosphere that is both special and adventurous. This little town has the ability to provide its visitors with the feeling of living in a smaller hamlet, complete with the vibrant energy, interests, and colours that characterise village life.

Silchar is home to the closest airport, while Aizawl is where you will find the closest train station. To go to Serchhip, you may take a bus, or you can rent cabs. It is possible to travel to and from various cities in Mizoram by bus; however, the rides tend to be packed and unpleasant.

The picturesque town of Lunglei, whose name translates to “the bridge of rock,” is renowned for its idyllic natural surroundings and breathtaking scenery. It is a sleepy town that can be discovered around 170 kilometres south of Aizawl. Those looking for an off-the-beaten-path vacation with beautiful natural scenery and exciting outdoor activities will find that Lunglei is a perfect choice. Visitors that come to Lunglei often spend their time hiking, viewing birds, and camping since these are among the most popular things to do in the area.

Buses are the most user-friendly means of transportation, and Lunglei has excellent connections to neighbouring cities and towns within the state. The closest airport is the Lengpui airport, which is around 200 kilometres away, while the closest railway station is in Silchar, Assam, approximately 345 kilometres away.

Champhai, located on Mizoram’s eastern border not far from the international boundary between India and Myanmar, serves as the district’s administrative centre. It is 188 km away from Mizoram’s city of Aizawl, yet it’s tactically and economically significant for both Mizoram and India. Champhai and the neighbouring areas are famous for their stunning landscapes and large rice paddies. As a significant rice-growing area, it has earned the nickname “Rice Bowl of Mizoram.” It has a seasonal attraction and a romantic air because of the beautiful orchids that bloom there.

The Lengpui Airport, located close to the state capital of Aizawl, is around 215 kilometres away, provides access to the main cities, including Champhai. Because there are buses leaving and arriving at Aizawl on a regular basis, this mode of transportation is the most time and cost-efficient option. Additionally, Pawan Hans provides a helicopter service that operates out of Aizawl.

Mamit district has the position of being the fourth biggest district in Mizoram. The town of Mamit, serves as the administrative seat of the district and can be found around 95 kilometres to the west of Aizawl. Since oranges are one of the most important agricultural products in this region, locals refer to it as the “Orange Garden of Mizoram.” This magnificent location in Mizoram is renowned for outstanding picturesque settings and majesty that it offers. The Dampa Tiger Sanctuary is one of India’s most well-known and well-protected natural locations, and it is a prominent tourist destination in this area. 

Mamit and the surrounding territory are known across Mizoram as an important centre for agricultural production. This part of the world has a rich cultural life, as seen by the many festivals observed with fanfare and fervour during the year.

Mamit is 89 kilometres from Aizawl and thus is easily accessible by road. The two cities are connected by a network of buses and jeep taxis that run frequently. About 43 kilometres south of Mamit lies the Lengpui airport, also situated north of Aizawl. The closest train station is at Silchar, around 200 kilometres distant. It is possible to take a bus or a cab from Silchar to your next destination.

Kolasib, one of Mizoram’s more recent districts, is located in the state’s north. It is located 79 kilometres to the north of Aizawl. Kolasib, much like most other townships in Mizoram, is replete with both cultural and natural splendour. The Tlawng river is Kolasib’s most popular tourist destination due to its picturesque shoreline and the surrounding woodlands, which provide a tranquil escape to the wilderness. You may go boating in a relaxed manner. In addition to going to visit the landmarks, tourists may also participate in other activities, such as trying the regional cuisine and gaining an understanding of the local crafts.

Lengpui Airport in Aizawl is the closest airport to Kolasib and is about 70 kilometres away. Trains often stop at the neighbouring stations of Silchar and Lumding on their route to or from Kolasib. To get to Kolasib from the airport or train station, you may take a taxi, cab, auto-rickshaw, or rented automobile.

Reiek Tlang, sometimes known as just Reiek, is among Mizoram’s tallest mountains at a whopping 1465 metres in altitude. Aizawl’s neighbour, Reiek Tlang, is 29 kilometres distant and offers breathtaking panoramas of the city and the valley beyond, set against a background of Mizo Hills scenery. Trekking up to the top is a rewarding experience in its own right, best enjoyed on a clear, bright day. Reiek Peak, like many other locations in India’s far northeast, is mostly unvisited and hidden among the hills.

A little Mizo settlement inhabiting the Reiek Hills is a recognised heritage site. The hill is popular with sightseers, but it’s also a great place to go bird-watching. Native birds, like the Peregrine Falcon, are abundant on the ascent, and their songs may be heard from the rocky ledges where they build their nests.

Aizawl’s Lingui Airport is the sole airport in the state. It is possible to take a cab from Lingui to Reiek Village, which is located around 30 kilometres from Aizawl.

Hmuifang, also known as Hmuifang Tlang, is a stunning hill station and among the most popular tourist spots in all of Mizoram. Many tourists visit the hill station every year because of the many opportunities it provides for outdoor recreation and animal viewing. It’s a place with lush, unspoiled woods as well as hills that have yet to be altered by humans. Hmuifang is also known for the annual Thalfavang Kut festival features traditional Mizo dances. It is a site that is ripe with possibilities for tourism and other activities linked to hospitality, and it is a dream come true for those who like experiencing new things. 

Hmuifang is located 50 kilometres from the state capital of Aizawl. It is possible to take a cab from Lingui airport in Aizawl all the way to Hmuifang Tlang.

Dampa Tiger Reserve

The beautiful Dampa Tiger Reserve Sanctuary may be found in the heart of Mizoram’s thick and diversified woods. Project Tiger, supported by the Indian government, has helped to protect a variety of native plants and animals. In 1994, the sanctuary was designated as a tiger reserve, and it now serves as a safe haven for tigers and many other species of birds. The hills in the vicinity of the wildlife sanctuary constitute a major physiographic corridor linking parts of India, Malaysia, and China.

Dampa wildlife reserve can be found about 127 kilometres from Mizoram’s capital, Aizawl. Due to its isolated location, the sanctuary may only be reached by private car. Road access has been established as a result of recent construction in the region. Renting a private cab from Aizawl to Dampa is the most convenient option.

Timings: 9 AM to 5 PM

Entry fees: Rs 5

Falkawn Village

Falkawn village, a model community showcasing Mizo culture, is a must-see for every traveller visiting Mizoram. The Mizo people, the largest tribe in the state, are depicted in Falkawn village with their way of life and traditions. Located around 22 kilometres from Aizawl, Falkawn village is an innovative idea and an attempt to provide visitors with a glimpse of one of the best tribal cultures in our country.

If you find yourself in Aizawl, you should make it a point to stop by Falkawn village. It is located in one of the most inaccessible parts of the country and has a wealth of information and history to impart.
