This annual spectacle unfolds against the enchanting backdrop of Reiek Mountain, just an hour's scenic drive from Aizawl, the state capital. Over three glorious days, the Anthurium Festival unveils the richness of Mizoram's heritage, accentuated by the resplendent bloom of the anthurium.

A journey into Mizoram's floral wonderland

This festival serves a dual purpose, a celebration of the enchanting anthurium flower and a heartfelt invitation to explore Mizoram's natural treasures. Conceived through the collaborative efforts of Mizoram's tourism and horticulture departments, the Anthurium Festival typically blooms during September or October when the anthurium flower is at its zenith.

The festival's roots are deeply entwined with the cultivation of anthurium flowers in Mizoram. It began as an initiative to empower local women, offering them financial independence through the cultivation of these exquisite blossoms. The dedicated efforts bore fruit, transforming the state into a thriving hub for anthurium cultivation. The Zo Anthurium Growers Society furthered this journey, enabling the export of these exquisite flowers to various corners of the country and beyond.

Against the magnificence of Reiek Mountain, adorned with a mesmerising array of anthurium blooms, the festival unfolds as a colourful extravaganza. Visitors are welcomed with open arms to immerse themselves in its plethora of activities.

The festivities span a wide spectrum, from soul-stirring folk music to exhilarating Mizo indigenous games. Cultural dances grace the stage, showcasing the deep-rooted traditions of the land. The adventurous at heart can partake in zip-lining, while art enthusiasts can explore handloom and handicraft exhibitions. For those with a keen eye, rifle shooting provides an adrenaline rush, while the adventure park beckons the daring.
