Durtlang Hills
Situated to the north of Aizwal high above the city provide majestic view of
entire Aizwal city from beautiful and craggy hill top. The way to Durtlang
itself offers enjoyable walk along the steep climb with scenic rural
environment.
By offering prismatic views of Aizawl city, the point has attracted the
attention of hundreds of travellers. While the city looks like a shiny
golden plate from here during the morning, at night it appears like a
starlit cascade that can rarely be experienced anywhere.
As the sun rays fades out of the horizon and the city gets lit up with
golden lights under the dark sky, its view from Durtlangs Hills create the
finest of memories for a traveller.
The hills overlook Tlawng River and blue hued mountains and is the home to
several important sites like Aizawl Theological College and View Tower.
One never gets a complete picture of Aizwal unless one visits the Durtlang
Hills.
