Phawngpui National Park and Blue Mountain

Phawngpui National Park and Blue Mountain is a protected national park in Lawngtlai District, Mizoram, near Sangau village close to the Myanmar border. Centered on Phawngpui, the highest peak in Mizoram at 2,157 metres, it covers about 50 sq km of mountain forest and grassland. Established in 1992, it is known for rhododendron groves, orchids, cloud-covered cliffs, and diverse birdlife, and is a prominent trekking and nature destination in southern Mizoram.

Visitors can expect a remote mountain national park centered on the Blue Mountain peak with steep grassy slopes, cliff edges, rhododendron forests and orchid areas. Access is via a trek from Sangau village to the summit area with viewpoints over the Mizoram hills and, on clear days, distant views toward Myanmar. The area offers natural trails, birdwatching, photography points and camping areas with basic forest department accommodation. Facilities are limited and the terrain is rugged.
