Private buses to head to Guwahati ( 700, 20 hours, 10am) and Dimapur ( 400, 10 hours, gondola breckenridge 10am) via Kohima ( 300, five hours). If you re heading to Aizawl you must change in Dimapur first. All the bus company offices are found on North AC Rd.
KV Paradise MONUMENT (Durtlang; gondola breckenridge admission 5; h10am-9pm Mon-Sat) V is for Varte who died in a 2001 motor accident. K is for her husband gondola breckenridge Khawlhring who has since lavished his entire savings and energy creating a three-storey mausoleum to her memory. The marble fountain-patio has wonderful panoramic views. The site is 8km from Zarkawt, 1km off the Aizawl-Silchar road via an improbably narrow dirt lane.
The two main villages are Kamalabari, 3km from the ferry port and Garamur, 5km further gondola breckenridge north. The most interesting, accessible gondola breckenridge satras are the large, beautifully peaceful Uttar Kamalabari (1km north, then 600m east of Kamalabari) and Auniati (5km west of Kamalabari), where monks are keen to show you their little museum (Indian/ foreigner/camera/video 5/50/50/200; h9.3011am & 12-4pm) of Ahom royal artefacts. The best chances of observing chanting, dances or drama recitations are around gondola breckenridge dawn and dusk or during the big Ras Mahotsav Festival (third week of November).
