Hakha (formerly called Haka) is the capital of Chin State in Burma. Its located in the northeast in Chin State. The vernacular name of the city was Halkha. The total area of Hakha is about 12.50 square miles (32.4 km2). The town of Hakha, more than 6,000 feet above the sea level, is founded on a small highland plateau. Although it is relative small in land area, it is the largest town and Capital city of the whole state and its plateau is significantly larger than that of other towns in Chin State. It's widely believed that Hakha has enough land and full capacity to extend as much as ten times than its current township area. In other words, Hakha can house even if other eight townships and three sub-townships in the present Chin State are moved to Hakha; because it can expand to Mount Ngau Thu and as far as Hniar Lawn and Nabual village. [As Chin State is quite hilly, Hakha is built on the slope of a large mountain, in a U shape. There is only one main road running along the middle of the city, in a curve U, and the whole city is built along this road. Another road runs from the middle of the city, for a short while, forming the foot of U. Hakha is in the center of Chin State and it is connected with Thantlang, Falam, Gangaw and Matupi by truck roads.
