Geography & terrain
Khawzawl lies in the Khawzawl district of Mizoram, 80 km from Aizawl and 150 km from Silchar — the orchid village of the region's south, its orchidarium, the tribal lanes and the hills set on the state's border country near the Tripura edge.
History & culture
The town's story runs with the region's settlement and the orchid revival — the town of the Mizo life of the south, with the town's modern role as the home of the Blue Vanda orchids and the orchidarium of the state's conservation; the town's history of the village settlements and the seasonal festivals, with the bamboo craft of the region, gives Khawzawl its orchid-village character.
