Day 1 (Arrival in Aizawl- visit to Bara Bazaar)

Arrive at Lengpi Airport in Aizawl where our staff will receive you. From here, a luxury SUV takes you to your hotel. Situated at an altitude of 4000 feet, the capital city of Aizawl is a picturesque hill station surrounded by the lush green valley of the Tlawng River in the east and the Durtlang Hills in the north.
The drive to the hotel takes you on a scenic route and your guide can point out any significant place of interest on the way. Check into your hotel where a welcome drink awaits you on arrival. You can go to your rooms and freshen up and take the rest of the afternoon to rest after the journey.
In the evening, enjoy tea and refreshments followed by a visit to the nearby Bara Bazaar. This is the town’s bustling shopping hub where vendors are seen in traditional Mizo attire selling a wide selection of colourful wares ranging from river crabs, farm supplies and handmade products. We return to the hotel for a traditional Mizo dinner of trademark dishes like Bai, the delicious broth made of bamboo shoots, local produce and pork and Vawksa rep, another signature Mizo dish made with smoked pork and local spices.
After dinner, retire to your rooms for the night.

Day 2 (Durtlang Hill- KV Paradise- Durtlang Village)

Today, we explore some of the popular sites in and around Aizawl. After an early breakfast at the hotel, visit the Mizoram State Museum located at the city centre at McDonald Hill. The museum is home to several interesting historical artefacts like traditional Mizo costumes, musical instruments, weapons etc.
Our next stop is at Durtlang Hill, situated about 5 kilometres away from Aizawl. Durtlang Hill provides stunning views of the surrounding landscape and we stop here for an al fresco lunch. In good weather it’s lovely to have a meal on top of the hill, while enjoying the scenic beauty of the place. Post lunch, we make our way to KV Paradise, one of the iconic landmarks of Durtlang. It is a three-storey mausoleum built by Khawlhring and dedicated to his wife Varte who died in a road accident in 2001. KV Paradise is located around 1 kilometre away from Durtlang Village across a narrow dirt-road.
Our trip continues to the Luangmuang Handicrafts Centre where an array of handmade tribal ware is displayed. The traditional bamboo hat of the Mizos, ‘khumbeu’, is made here using waterproof leaves called ‘hnahthial’.
After the full day’s excursion, we return to the hotel in the evening. You can freshen up in your rooms and enjoy refreshments while our guide appraises you about the next day’s itinerary and what to look out for.
The evening ends with dinner after which you can retire for the night.

Day 3 (Hmuifang Tlang- Heritage Mizo Village- Lamchhip- Aizawl)

Today, we set out for Hmuifang Tlang, located at a distance of 50 kilometres to the south of Aizawl. Hmuifang Mountain covered in vi rgin forests, stands at an altitude of 1619 metres and provides stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
En route, we visit Reiek, a Heritage Mizo Village. The site is maintained by the Mizoram Department of Tourism and showcases distinctive Mizo huts including a house for the tribal chief, and a widow’s hut alongside modern structures to depict the architectural progression. At Hmuifang, we stop at the Hmuifang Tourist Lodge situated at the peak of the mountain. Its adjoining meadows are popular picnic spots and this is where we halt for lunch.
Post lunch we visit neighbouring Mizo villages along the hillside including Sumsuih village and Lamchhip Village. Here, you get a chance to interact with villagers and see how they live in these remote parts, isolated from modern civilization.
We return to Aizawl in the evening for tea and refreshments at the hotel. You can choose to spend the rest of the evening at the hotel or take a leisurely stroll down to Bara Bazaar to pick up some local souvenirs. The evening ends with dinner at the hotel.

Day 4 (Vantawng Falls- boat ride in Vanva River- Thenzawl)

Today we get an early start and leave for Vantawng Falls. Located about 137 kilometres from Aizawl, Vantawng is the highest waterfall in Mizoram. Verdant forests surround the falls, making it difficult to get a close range view. Vantawng is situated in Vanva River in Thenzawl and can be seen from a distance as a gushing cascade of froth, milky white against the green of its environs.
We reach the Tourist Lodge at Thenzawl in time for lunch. The afternoon can be spent at leisure visiting the falls. You could also enjoy a boat ride on the river, in favourable weather.
Tea and refreshments are provided along the way as we next make our way to a few tribal villages in the area. Once again, you get a chance to interact with a new community of people, with lives very different from your own. Their clothes, way of living and customs are all peculiar to their tribe. Our guides act as translators so you can have an engaging exchange with the tribal people.
In the evening, we return to the Travel Lodge. After an early dinner, you’re free to retire to your rooms for the night.

Day 5 (Champai- Ruantlang Village tour)

Have an early breakfast at the lodge and depart for Champai, located at a distance of 144 kilometres. This charming hill town situated near the Indo-Myanmar border is a commercial hub for developing cross-border trade. It’s a picturesque route that takes us through winding roads surrounded by lush green foliage on either side.
Packed lunch is provided on the way and in the afternoon we reach our hotel in Champai. After a brief halt at the hotel to freshen up, we take a stroll down to the colourful streets of this busy town. Catch a glimpse of the Bilauktaung Range of Myanmar from here.
Our next stop is Ruantlang Village, situated about 5 kilometres away and home to a traditional community of Mizos. After some time interacting with the villagers and exploring their village, we head back to our hotel for a well- deserved rest after a long day.
This is the last night of the tour and we celebrate it with a hearty meal of Mizo and Burmese delicacies. Khao suey is the signature Burmese dish. This noodle soup served with an assortment of fresh greens and meats like beef, chicken and pork is popular in the region. After dinner, retire to your rooms for the night.
