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 Kamaphul.
