Falkawn is a modern village located about 18–20 km from Aizawl (around 45 minutes to 1 hour drive). Within this village is the well-known Falkawn Mizo Heritage Complex, a specially created cultural site where visitors can explore a reconstructed typical Mizo village and learn about traditional Mizo life.
