About Mizoram

Mizoram is an out-of-the-way destination in India. If you are expecting a quiet holiday in the middle of the idyllic atmosphere, this is the place to be. Serene lakesides, cascading waterfalls, flourishing hills covered with bamboo forests, morning mists and blue skies, humming pine clusters, quaint villages and houses built on stilts and more.... are the characteristics, which makes Mizoram the "land of highlanders."

The people of Mizoram are generally accepted as part of a great Mongoloid wave of migration from China and later moved out to India to their present habitat - now Mizoram.

High hills, deep gorges, running rivers and swirling streams and blue mountains make up the landscape of Mizoram. The highest peak is 2165 m above sea level. The average height of the hills is 700 m and they all run in ridges from north to south. The rivers, running through Mizoram are Tlawang, Sonai, Tuivawl, Kolodine and Kamaphuli. The evergreen hills contain timber trees, bamboo and wild bananas. Orchids, begonias, rhododendrons and geraniums flowers make up the brilliant colours of the flora of the state.
