==Flora and fauna==<br />
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.{{sfn|Chisholm|1911|p=130}}<br />
<br />
==Inhabitants==<br />
These hills are inhabited by the [[Lusei tribe|Lushais]] and other [[Mizo people|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.{{sfn|Chisholm|1911|p=130}}<br />
<br />
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.{{sfn|Chisholm|1911|p=130}}<br />
