Durtlang Hills houses important places in Mizoram. Seen here is a small road opening in Durtlang which not only leads to the main town Aizawl but also various other parts of the state Mizoram. As such it is known as The Gateway to Aizawl. Initially this passage was a narrow alley between two cliffs which led to traffic congestion. However it was widened up by chiseling the two sides using dynamite. Other important places here is the KV Paradise, Doordarshan TV Tower, Theological College and Presbyterian Hospital.
