Aizawl is built on a single ridge at 1,132 metres — the city has no flat ground, no rickshaws, and no bicycles. Every street winds steeply and every view is a panorama of misty hills. The Durtlang Hills above the city give a 360° view of the entire ridge-city below. The Saturday market (Zaikhum) in the city centre is the social heart of the week — everything from woven shawls to live fish is sold.
Cycling is the dominant mode of transport — stay out of bike lanes. Almost everyone speaks English.
🇮🇳 Aizawl Fun Fact
