The Flattest Place in Mizoram?

Thenzawl, is just about the flattest place I’ve come across in Mizoram, throughout my 1½ years stay. Nothing much here, or for the matter of fact, in Mizoram, except if you’re interested in natural beauty, such as hills, bamboo and more bamboo; and ethnic tribes and their culture. The Vantawng Waterfall’s here (refer earlier entry – “The Waterfall of The Leech”). Our Project’s nearby, which is fortunate since at least Thenzawl has some semblance of a decent tourist lodge, a good enough grocery shop (to cater for the police mainly), some health-care facilities, and the blessings of a river, Mat River, which fortunately brings BC boulders (very technical to explain here). Thenzawl’s also known to be the cowboy town of Mizoram, with farms and pastures (due to its comparative flatness) and a center for production of ethnic weave-work, besides the local liquor, oh I forgot… that’s illegal…
