Chin State is located in the north-west of Myanmar and having common borders with India and Bangladesh. As the State is a mountainous region with almost no plains, high mountains make temperature drop. Now although wearing 3 layers of sweaters, I fell cold and shivering. Geographically, Chin State is divided into North and South portion. In the north, the major tribes are Phalam, Tiddim, Tunnzan, Htantalan, and Hakha. The Southern Chins are Kanpatlet, Matupi, Mindat and Paletwa. Now we have arrived at the northern part of the Chin State.

We are now here at Hakha, the capital city of the Chin State which is situated 6,120 ft above sea-level. Hakha is the highest town in the northern Chin State. Now, I’m standing on the highest place of the city, so I can see well the view of the whole town.

Our MRTV-3 crew has arrived Htantalan, western most town of the northern Chin State and 24 miles far from Hakha, the capital city of Chin State. The town of Htantalan is located 4,962 ft above sea-level and surrounded by layers of greenish blue mountain ranges.Falam is one of the famous towns of the Chin State and situated 5,280 ft above sea level. As we arrive in Falam, a fascinating view firstly I’ve noticed that is neat and tidy row of houses which are built in a uniform pattern on the slope. Their frontage to the roadway is situated together side by side. The weather is expressively cold.

Rhododendron is the flower which is symbol of the Chin State, since we came into the Chin State; we’ve seen bright red colour rododendrons blooming along the route on both sides. Now you can see the red cluster of flowers among the green leaves covering the entire mountain completely.

Our MRTV-3 crew is now here at TIDDIM in northern Chin State which is 120 miles from Hakha, the capital city of the Chin State. TIDDIM is situated 5,667 ft above sea level. As we look down from here we can see shining roofs of TIDDIM arrayed on the ridges below us.

Mythun meaning wild-bull is the traditional breeding animal for the Chin national races. Chin State is the most suitable land to breed the mythun.

The greatest contribution to the popularity of Chin State is “The Reed Lake”. The Reed Lake is a unique and prettiest spot in Chin State. It is situated between Chin mountain ranges and Indian mountain ranges. Looking down the “Reed Lake” on high land it looks like liver in shape.
