Mizoram
Situated at the tip of the
North-Eastern border, Mizoram is a land of varied landscape and natural beauty.
It has international boundaries with Bangladesh and Myanmar. The state has a
pleasant temperate climate all the year round, thanks to the Tropic of Cancer
which passes through the state. The Blue Mountain is the highest peak in
Mizoram. Tlawang, Kamaphuli, Kolodine, Tuivawl and Sonai are the major rivers
flowing through the state. Mizoram consisits of the north and south Lushai
hills.
The capital city of Mizoram, Aizwal, is the religious and
cultural center of the state. It has been debveloped to meet the growing
demands of the tourism industry. Tourist centres worth visiting in the state
are Champai, Tamdil, Vantawng fall and Thenzawl. are some of the other
important tourist centres in this state.
The major profession of the
Mizos is agriculture. Paddy, Maize, Mustard, Sugarcene and potatoes are the
main crops of the area.
After the retreat of the British, Mizoram has
become highly inaccessible as the traditional routes viz. Chittagong and
Rangamati no longer exist. The air links to Aizawl are also uncertain
throughout the rainy season which lasts from April to October. The tediously
long road journey from Shillong or Silchar is also not recommended. The once
dense forests of Mizoram have been replaced by Slash and burn Jhum cultivation.
The rugged mountain countryside of Mizoram now attracts only anthropologists
and other biological scientists and nature lovers who like roughing it out in
the wild mountains.
Even though the journey to Mizoram is comparatively
tough, it is still capable of springing some interesting surprises for those
who visit the state with a positive attitude. Mizos are generally very cheerful
and hospitable people who believe in a good life and have a strong faith in
God.
