Mizoram: Yes, it exists, and it’s a state of beautiful North East, but many miss out on this pretty state. This state has unique art and culture, a distinct landscape, and natural beauty. Aizawl is a lot to explore, with Reiek presenting a fantastic view of meadows far and wide; Hmuifang/Phawngpui Peak gives a dreamy greenery view along with the crispy Himalayas in sight from Lalsavunga Park.

IMPORTANT NOTE FROM MY EXPERIENCE:
1)Mizoram is a great place to be, especially if you look for stretched meadows amidst green hills with short trails and hikes
2)Hmuifang and Reiek are must visits -try spending a day at each of these places-it’s worth it. The view is like the countryside, greenery all over and calm winds blowing across-its so much fulfilling!
3)Winters, I’ll say it is a lovely time to be you get pleasant weather plus its Christmas time-a lot of hustle bustle in the capital.
5)Try visiting Palak dil and Vantawng Falls if you can add two days to your itinerary or Mizoram as these are must-visit places.
