Aizawl, the capital city of the state of Mizoram, is a favoured destination of solitude seekers. Located on the Tropic of Cancer, on the Himalayan ranges, the city is one of the foremost cities in the north-eastern region of India.
The 112 year old hill fortress offers ample opportunities for sightseeing, recreation and adventure. Set in the midst of beautiful landscapes, the destination is situated on an elevated platform at an altitude of 4,000 ft above sea level. One of the highlighting characteristics of the region is timber houses positioned between profusion of flowers.
The cloudless blue skies, dewy mornings and sunlight streaming through the woods are ideal for a relaxing holiday. Along with the Tlawng River, the Turial River Valley gives an opportunity to visit the high hills of Durtlang and other adjacent areas.
The hill station of Aizawl also houses administrative houses like
the State Assembly and Civil Secretariat. The state has several public
sector offices and is a beehive of economic activities of the region.
Some of the attractions in Aizawl are the State Museum on Mcdonald Hill, known as Zarkawt, which exhibits various artefacts and historical relics related with Mizo culture. Chapchar Kut, Min Kut and Pawl Kut festivals are hosted in the city, which is celebrated with zeal in the traditional Mizo style.
The group performance displaying foot movements and colourful costumes of the famous Cheraw (bamboo dance) is a spectacular sight to witness in Aizawl. The region is popular for items like cane and bamboo items.
The north-eastern city experiences a pleasant weather all round the year with inappreciable changes in mercury levels. The monsoon months are pleasant and gentle. Therefore, Aizawl can be visited throughout the year.

Surrounded by the green valley of river Tlawng on the east and high craggy hills of Durtlang on the north, Aizawl stands on the high ridge like a citadel city. The scenic capital of Mizoram, this remote city's natural beauty has made it an ideal hill station for vacation. The rich tribal extravaganza of this city further ascertains the ethnic, religious and cultural background of the state of Mizoram.
The high ridges of the Durtlang hills, punctuated by a number of small Mizo villages such as Ruantlang (5 km), Falkawn (18 km) and Sairung (19 km) are a major attraction. Depicting the culture and lifestyle of a typical Mizo village, these beautiful towns serve as places of great interest.
There are plenty of picnic spots within and around the capital as well, such as Paikhai (15 km) and Bung (16 km), which are often visited by travellers. Nature lovers can visit the famous mini zoological garden in Aizawl that houses several species of mammals and birds unique to Mizoram. This sanctuary is famous for the endangered sun bear and other rare animals.
Besides natural sites, Aizawl is also rich in cultural heritage with sites like the Cultural Sub-Centre, Luangmual Handicrafts Centre (7 km) and Berawtlang Tourist Complex (7 km). The Mizoram State Museum is also popular, for displaying evidences of the glorious past and ethnicity of the state. Bara Bazar, a shopping centre in the city, is extremely popular among shoppers.
Other than sites located in the city or close to it, tourists can also make a visit to farther recreation jaunts like Reiek Tourist Resort (45 km). Phawngpui Hills (75 km), Dampa (133 km), Vantawng Waterfall (142 km), Kolasib (142 km), Champhai (192 km) and Rungdil Lake (150 km). Those intending for an extended trip can also visit Lunglei (235 km), Phawngpui (300 km) or Saiha (378 km).
