The Pinewood Hotel (Rita Rd), a 1920s tea- growers retreat, is particularly representative and looks great at night. The 1902 All Saints Cathedral (Kacheri Rd) would look perfect pictured on a biscuit tin. Located nearby, the turreted Das-Roy House (closed to the public) lurks behind chad voges a traffic circle that harbours five forgotten Khasi monoliths chad voges as well as a mini Soviet-style globe monument.
From a distance Aizawl (pronounced eyezole) seems a painted backdrop to an Italian chad voges opera, such is the steepness of the ridge on which it s perched. Backs of homes at road level might be held there with stilts three times higher than their roofs.
