Mizoram by Road

The rugged terrains of the craggy and mountainous northeast make it difficult to reach Mizoram by road. The National Highway No. 54 passes through the state of Mizoram and connects the capital city, Aizwal with the city of Silchar in Assam. This facilitates the state's connectivity with the rest of the nation. Aizwal is also directly connected with the cities of Guwahati and Shillong that are located at a distance of 506 km and 450 km respectively from the capital city. This ensures that Mizoram is linked with its northeastern counterparts as well as all parts of the Indian subcontinent.

The Mizoram State Transport Corporation provides buses that ply passengers to and from different parts of the state. A fleet of 70 buses accounts for the state's public transport facility and carries bus loads of passengers to the cities of Aizwal, Lunglei, Silchar and Saiha. Some of the buses are long distance and undertake overnight journey to the cities Shillong or Silchar or Guwahati.

Taxis in Mizoram are another means of transportation in the hilly terrains. Although the taxi fares are more than that charged by the buses, they provide a comfortable medium of transport. Luxury taxis are few in number owing to the high fares.
