Perched like a lone sentinel on the tip of the north eastern border of India,
idyllic Mizoram is an amalgam of the former north and south Lushai hill
districts . Mizoram is a land of great natural beauty , an endless variety of
landscape with rich flora and fauna , clusters of whispering pines , and quaint
villages with houses on stilts.
Mizoram, or the land of Mizos
(highlanders) , has international boundaries with Myanmar and
Bangladesh while it shares its domestic borders with the states of
Assam , Manipur and Tripura. The Tropic of Cancer runs through the
heart of Mizoram, and hence,it has a pleasantly temperate climate
throughout the year.A land of steep hills and deep gorges, Mizoram's
highest peak ' The Blue Mountain ' rises to a height of 2165 metres
. Important rivers that flow through this hilly state are Tlawang ,
Sonai, Tuivawl, Kolodine and Kamaphuli.
