Aizawl Zoological Park

Aizawl Zoological Park is a small state zoo located at Lungverh, about 23 km from Aizawl city in Mizoram. Set on a forested hillside, it houses native wildlife of Mizoram and the Northeast, including Himalayan black bear, hoolock gibbon, leopard, sambar and diverse birds. Established to promote wildlife conservation, education and recreation, it offers visitors a compact, nature-surrounded experience with enclosures spread across hilly terrain overlooking the surrounding valleys.

Visitors can expect a compact hillside zoo set within forested slopes at Lungverh. Enclosures are spread along walking paths with views of surrounding hills and valleys. Animals include mammals such as bears, gibbons, leopards and deer, along with birds and reptiles native to the region. The setting is quiet and green, with paved and stepped pathways, viewpoints, and shaded seating areas. Facilities are basic and the terrain is undulating, requiring moderate walking between enclosures.

The zoo was initially established as a small zoological collection in Aizawl and later developed and shifted to its present larger site at Lungverh to provide more natural and spacious habitats. It is maintained by the Environment, Forests and Climate Change Department, Government of Mizoram, as the state's principal zoo for ex-situ conservation, rescue and public education.
