It is mostly popular amongst offbeat travellers and local tourists for Phawngpui, which is also known as Blue Mountain and is the highest peak of Lushai Hills, standing at a height of about 7076 feet.

Covered with the forests of bamboo, pine and oak, the region of Lushai Hills is one of the richest lands in northeastern India as it is home to hundreds of rare and endangered species of plants, animals, birds and reptiles.
