With the splendid heart-shaped Rih Dil Lake at its centre and the majestic Myanmar hills in the backdrop, Champhai, in the state of Mizoram, is an off-beat tourist destination that casts a spell upon the traveller with its glorious natural beauty. Carpeted by vibrant orchids that are kissed by a host of butterflies, Champhai looks like a little piece of heaven. Its colourful tribal traditions coupled with romantic ruins, ancient relics, memorials and monuments, make Champhai a serene relief from the bustle of the city. Champhai enjoys a salubrious climate and one of the best spots to visit is the picturesque Champhai valley that is also known as the Rice Bowl of Mizoram. It lies at a distance of about 192 km from Aizawl, the capital of the state.
