Champhai was one of the must visits on our itinerary so my husband and me braved 8 hrs of mountain drive (90% of which was composed of blind curves) to reach this place.
We’d left Aizawl at 12 noon by a Sumo and reached the Champhai Tourist Lodge at 8pm.The driver was kind enough to find the place and drop us inside its premises instead of dropping us at the sumo stand itself. He even made a couple of unofficial halts at some places to allow us attend to the nature’s call :)
By the time we reached the hotel it was very late (yes, 8pm is almost midnight in Mizoram where people follow the sun like a sunflower) and the manager of the Lodge arranged eggitarian dinner for us. And, that was the end of the day.
Champahai, which was the coldest place we went to in Mizoram, seems to be the food bowl of the state. Paddy fields can be seen everywhere on this mountain spot. It is a village-cum-town where you can spend all your time walking around leisurely watching nature and exploring the market.
We’d gone there in November and it was very cold there then.
It was colder than Aizawl, Zokhawtar and Saitual.
