Mizoram Tourist Places Or Places to Visit in Mzoram

Mizoram, the land of the ‘Blue Mountain’ or the ‘Hill People’s Land’ is virtually under the cover of magnificent mountains and deep gorges.  It perhaps the ‘most peaceful State of India’, as the Mizo society is practically free from divisions on the basis of caste, creed ad sex.  The Mizo’s codes of ethics are based on ‘Tlawmngaithna’, which means “be kind, unselfish, and hospitable to others”.  It is also the second highest literate State of India and is witnessing multidimensional development.  Mizos, are also known for their numerous folk and community dances and are perhaps the finest choir singers in the North East.  The nimble fingered craftsmen create exquisite handicraft and handloom articles.  The beautiful remote state is also noted for its rich wealth of flora and fauna.
