Chin State, Mountainous state in western Myanmar.
This state is a region in Myanmar defined by high mountain ranges and deep valleys, with some peaks reaching nearly 2,000 meters. Hakha serves as the capital and sits within this rugged landscape that shapes daily life.
The territory consisted of independent administrative units until it was organized as a special division after 1948. The transformation into a state occurred in the mid-1970s during nationwide reforms.
The population divides into many communities, each speaking its own language and distinguished by handwoven clothing and carved house decorations. Visitors often notice the facial tattoos of older women in some villages, a practice that ended decades ago but remains part of the region's identity.
The mountainous geography makes travel between settlements difficult, and roads are often in poor condition, especially during the rainy season. Visitors should plan extra time for transfers and be prepared for limited supplies.
On February 20th each year, celebrations feature traditional wrestling matches that draw participants from many villages. These competitions form an important social occasion for local people and remain a living part of community tradition.
