Ever wondered how it is to touch-down on a small airstrip surrounded by nothing but the gentle waves of the calm blue ocean? Ever fancied catapulting straight into a mountain valley, overlooking the beautiful snow-capped peaks of the mighty Himalayas?
Well, here are 7 of India’s most stunning airports, and no, they don’t include Mumbai or Delhi:
1. Lengpui Airport, Mizoram
Atop the confluence of river streams lies the 2500 metre runway of Lengpui Airport in Mizoram. This airport is one among three airports in India to have a table top runway, that creates an optical illusion.
