Mizoram
Rolling hills of the far Northeast
Mizoram is a mountainous state in India's far northeast, its parallel north-south hill ranges bordering Myanmar and Bangladesh and reaching over 2,100 metres at Phawngpui, known as the Blue Mountain. The Mizo people, who make up the large majority of the state's population, are predominantly Christian, a legacy of 19th-century Welsh missionary activity that continues to shape the state's churches, hymn traditions and near-universal literacy in the Mizo language.
Aizawl, the state capital, is built across a steep ridge with few flat surfaces, giving it one of the most distinctive urban landscapes in India. Mizoram's Chapchar Kut spring festival, marked by traditional bamboo dance, and its jhum shifting-cultivation farming practices remain central to rural Mizo identity, even as the state records one of the highest literacy rates in the country.
