Flora and fauna
The hills are for the most part covered with dense bamboo jungle and rank undergrowth; but in the eastern portion, owing probably to a smaller rainfall, open grass-covered slopes are found, with groves of oak and pine interspersed with rhododendrons. The Blue Mountain is the highest peak in Lushai hills.[3]
Inhabitants
These hills are inhabited by the Lushais and other Mizo tribes, but the population is extremely scanty. When they invaded the district from the north. Their first attack upon British territory took place in November 1849, and after that date they proved one of the most troublesome tribes on the north-east frontier of India; but operations in 1890 resulted in the complete pacification of the northern Lushai villages, and in 1892 the eastern Lushais were reduced to order.[3]
The management of the South Lushai hill country was transferred from Bengal to Assam in 1898. To obtain more efficient control over the country the district has been divided into eighteen circles, each in charge of an interpreter, through whom all orders are transmitted to the chiefs.[3]

Les Mizo Hills ou anciennement Lushai Hills sont un massif au sud-est de l'Himalaya à l'est de l'Inde, s'étendant sur le Mizoram et en partie sur le Tripura. Les Mizo Hills culminent à 2 125 mètres.[it] Colline Mizo
Le colline Mizo, note in passato come colline Lushai, sono una catena montuosa del Mizoram sud-orientale (India nord-orientale), che forma una parte del settore settentrionale del sistema dell'Arakan Yoma. Le colline Mizo si innalzano fino a circa 2125 m, e le loro pendici sono ricoperte da una fitta foresta sempreverde costituita, tra gli altri, da essenze pregiate e da bambù. Nelle valli intermontane, vengono praticati il debbio (agricoltura taglia e brucia) e, più raramente, la coltivazione su terrazze.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
