Falam

Falam lies among the ridges of the Chin hills, in a region of steep valleys and distinct village communities. The name is linked to a settlement of the Tlaisun, also called Tashon, whose chiefs held influence among neighbouring groups. Local tradition explains Fahlam as a place where children were sheltered in times of danger. The languages and traditions of the surrounding Laizo, Zahau, Sim and other communities reflect the diversity of the hill country.
