Sairang is a town in the Aizawl district of the Indian state of Mizoram. Due to its proximity to Aizawl city, it acts as a satellite town of the city.
After the British invasion of 1871-1872, Bengali traders set up the first marketplace in Mizoram in Changsil.[1]
Sairang is the nearest town with river from Aizawl which is about 14 kilometers. The journey of about 140 Kilometers from Sairang to Silchar via Tlawng river used to take about 15–30 days during the 1890s, depending upon the season and water level on a flat water boat.[2]
