The
posting on Dec. 13, 2008, headlined “Hakha – Capital of Chin State,
Myanmar” includes:
Hakha, the capital of Chin State, is situated in the Northern Chin
State. It is situated over the mountains, at 6,200 feet above sea level.
As Chin State is quite hilly, Hakha is built on the slope of a large
mountain, in U shape.
Most of the population is Chin with a few Burmese. Most are Christians.
Daily language of communication is Chin although Myanmar (Burmese)
remains the official language.
As the city is located on the side of a mountain, the scenery is very
beautiful.
In the rainy season and in winter, clouds cover most of the lower parts
of the city, so the city looks like it is built on the clouds.
It is quite cold during the winter months. So be careful to carry a lot
of warm clothes if you intend to travel to Hakha during winter.
The best time to visit Hakha is in summer, when the weather is warm and
dry.
To travel to Hakha, you can either take a bus from Mandalay directly or
first go to Kalay and then take a bus from there.
The bus from Mandalay leaves everyday, except Sunday, but it takes about
24 hours to Hakha. The bus is quite cramp and small, and packs a lot of
things under the seats as well as over the roof. I think bus from
Kalay, via Phalam, to Hakha is a better path, as it is more exciting and
the scenery is a lot more beautiful.

In the early 1900s, the Rev. E. H. East, M.D., and his wife, Emily East, were Baptist medical missionaries in the Chin Hills of Burma. In this photo (below), Tim Marsh, one of their grandchildren, points to the same house (in Hakha in the Chin Hills of Burma) in two photos. The sepia photo (printed from a glass negative (not a slide) is from the 1900s. The color photo is from about 2008.
