Aizawl is built on a single ridge at 1,132 metres โ the city has no flat ground, no rickshaws, and no bicycles. Every street winds steeply and every view is a panorama of misty hills. The Durtlang Hills above the city give a 360ยฐ view of the entire ridge-city below. The Saturday market (Zaikhum) in the city centre is the social heart of the week โ everything from woven shawls to live fish is sold.
Carry cash โ many small shops are cash-only. Bow slightly when greeting.
๐ฎ๐ณ Aizawl Fun Fact
Aizawl is the only state capital in India with no traffic lights โ the city is too hilly for them to be practical. Mizoram has India's highest literacy rate (91.3%) and lowest crime rate. The Mizo people have a tradition called 'Tlawmngaihna' โ an untranslatable concept of selfless service, hospitality, and putting others before oneself โ which functions as the unofficial moral code of Mizo society.

Tokyo has more Michelin-starred restaurants than any other city on Earth.
