Scenic Beauty of Falam and Cultural Dance

Chin State is located in the North-West of the Union of Myanmar and so has many mountains. Towns such as Hakha, Htantalan, Falam, Tiddim and Tonzan are situated in northern part of the Chin State.

On the way from Kalay to Falam, we have to cross Varr Bridge which is built across Manipur River. From there we can see Manipur river flowing down beautifully through mountain ranges. Near the bridge, there is Ngasick Varr Hydro Electric Power Plant which supplies electricity to Falam. On the way, we saw seasonal crops are being cultivated by terrace farming. Scenic beauty of Falam in the morning rays, brings great delight to visitors.

Our MRTV-3 crew are here at Falam, after 5 hours driving a distance of 80 miles from Kalay. Falam is one of the famous town 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 frontages to the roadway are situated together side by side.The weather is expressively cold.

Khuang dance is usually performed joyously at feasts. The whole village is invited to join the feast where Mythuns, pigs and goats together with traditional brew Khaung Yay are served. Depending on the wealth of the hosts, the feasts can last one week..
The dance you see now is the new harvest dance. It is danced in October when there is a new harvest.
