Geography & terrain

Thenzawl lies in the Serchhip district of Mizoram at about 900 m, 45 km from Aizawl and 20 km from Hnahthial — the waterfall town of the region, its Vantawng falls, the hills and the quiet set on the Mizo plateau.

History & culture

The town's story runs with the 2000s tourism era — the waterfall town of the Vantawng falls and the 2000s-era tourism of the Mizo life, with the town's modern role as the offbeat stop of the Aizawl circuit and the home of the Vantawng falls and the hill decks and the 2010s-era walks; the town's history of the 1980s-era roads and the village life, gives Thenzawl its waterfall character.
