Geography & terrain

Lunglei lies in the Lunglei district of Mizoram at about 1,220 m, 180 km from Aizawl and 200 km from Silchar — the hill town of the region's south, its ridges, the river and the culture set on the state's second town.

History & culture

The town's story runs with the Mizo settlement of the south — the town of the ridge between the Lunglei and the Khawthlangtuipui valleys, with the town's modern role as the district capital and the gateway of the southern Mizoram; the town's history of the mission era and the old Hlimen village, gives Lunglei its hill-town character.
