Phawngpui National Park (Blue Mountain NP) — Lawngtlai District

Mizoram India

At dawn the summit floats above a sea of cloud, and for a few still minutes the whole of southern Mizoram seems to unfold beneath your feet.

Rising to roughly 2,157 metres, Phawngpui National Park protects the highest peak in Mizoram — a mountain the Mizo hold sacred and know as the abode of the spirits. The climb through Blue Mountain National Park Mizoram moves from thick oak and rhododendron forest into open grassy slopes bright with wild orchids, while blue skies and drifting mist give Phawngpui Blue Mountain its name. Along the way you might glimpse the rare Blyth's tragopan, hear the call of hoolock gibbons, or spot the sheer cliff face known locally as Thlazuang Khàm. Among the finest things to do in Phawngpui National Park is standing at the summit clearing at first light, watching the valleys emerge from cloud. Plan your route via the official Mizoram Tourism portal: tourism.mizoram.gov.in.

October to April, when clear skies and blooming rhododendrons make trekking in Phawngpui most rewarding.

Entry to Phawngpui National Park requires a forest permit arranged through the range office at Sangau, the last village before the park — hire a local guide there, and set out before dawn so you reach the summit as the cloud sea lifts.

This attraction can be easily woven into BreakBag Holidays' customised Mizoram tour packages, pairing Phawngpui with the tribal villages and viewpoints of the far south.
