Aizawl, Capital city in northeastern highlands of India

Aizawl extends across multiple ridges at 1,132 meters elevation, with streets winding through steep hills and valleys in northeastern India's Mizoram state.

British forces established Fort Aijal in 1890, transforming the settlement into an administrative center for the North Lushai Hills region.

The Mizo State Museum presents traditional artifacts, textiles, and instruments that demonstrate the heritage of local tribes through educational exhibits.

Lengpui Airport connects Aizawl with major Indian cities through regular flights, while local transportation includes buses and taxis navigating the hillside roads.

The name Aizawl originates from Mizo words meaning cardamom field, reflecting the agricultural traditions of this mountain region.
