About Durtlang Hills
The ridge at the northern end of the city, about 170 metres above the centre, where the Presbyterian mission built its hospital in 1928. Go early: the sun comes up over the Tuirial side and the whole spread of Aizawl on its ridges is below you before the haze builds. There is nothing to buy a ticket for, you simply drive up and walk along the road.
What to see and do
- Sunrise over the eastern ranges
- The whole of Aizawl on its ridges below
- Durtlang Presbyterian Hospital, 1928
- KV Paradise a few minutes along the ridge
Part of Patkai, Naga and Mizo Hills.
