It snows every year in Hakha. I traveled there in April when the temperature was only 15 degrees Celsius. Hakha is one of the most beautiful cities in Myanmar. Mr.Hotsia explored Hakha, the capital city of Chin State. The local people speak the Chin language. They once had their own script but later used English as a phonetic substitute. The Chin people consist of many groups; the Sakna group is one of them. The Chin migrated from Tibet through Mizina and later settled in today's Chin State.
I talked and asked about the origins of the Chin people through a local who speaks Thai. He said that the Chin people who came from Tibet through Mizina are related, but this group settled deeper. The Chin and Kachin people are like siblings, but their spoken languages differ and they cannot understand each other. The Chin in Hakha also cannot communicate with the Sakna people in Shin Village, Yakhai. A popular dish among the Chin is boiled offal with corn; it is fragrant, delicious, and not gamey—I tried it myself. There is also a sour-tasting dish made with pickled mustard greens.
Today's food in Hakha is a mix of Burmese and Chin cuisine. I visited an old Chin house where there is only one bedroom; the parents sleep in the same room as their children and son-in-law, sharing a common stove. It is very cold in Chin during winter, around -8 degrees Celsius. Hakha experiences snow all year round. The city is about 2,000 meters above sea level. I noticed a lot of dust in Hakha today. The morning market is not large. Activities for visitors include going to viewpoints, seeing old houses, and tasting delicious Chin food.
There is also a strawberry farm popular with young people, where wine is available. I will visit tomorrow. Most people in Hakha follow Christianity. On Sundays, they attend church and no vehicles run to Kalay; all transport stops, so I have to return to Kalay on Monday. Food is expensive because almost everything has to be brought from Mandalay, making prices high. Shampoo I bought costs twice as much as in Thailand. However, rice is cheap; 30 baht can buy a whole pot.
A major problem for the Chin people in Hakha is water shortage. They have to buy water at 10 baht per small container from homes that drill groundwater wells. The drilling cost is expensive, tens of thousands of baht. An airport is under construction but not yet finished. Once completed, Thai travelers can visit to see snow most easily by flying from Thailand to Yangon or Mandalay, then connecting to Hakha. Visiting in early January guarantees snow.
You don't have to go to Kachin State to see snow in Myanmar; just Hakha in Chin State is enough. I saw two small hotels in Hakha, both guesthouses. Hakha is cold, so rooms don't need air conditioning. Room rates are about 500-800 baht per night with separate bathrooms. There are no motorcycles for rent in Hakha, but hotels might arrange some. I was impressed by the cool weather in Hakha. I plan to visit again during the snowy winter. Please stay tuned. Mr.Hotsia travels with joy by car from Kalay Maho.
