Getting there
Kolkata to Aizawl
Direct flights to Lengpui on most days.
Modes
How the trip works
Flight
Fly to the nearest gateway and continue by road; the Northeast has no high-speed rail, so flights buy you days.
Road
Road is how everything beyond the gateways actually works: shared taxis, private cabs and state buses.
The honest notes
Before you go
Hill roads in the Northeast run on daylight and weather: start early, keep buffers, and never plan a tight connection on the same day as a mountain drive. Monsoon (roughly June to September) brings landslide-prone stretches on most hill routes; the dry months move faster.
Fuel and cash up before leaving the big gateway towns, network coverage thins with altitude, and a driver who knows the road is worth more than any vehicle class.
