The Mara Autonomous District Council is one of the three such councils in Mizoram.

The District Headquarters
The town of Saiha is one of the largest towns in Mizoram, after Aizawl and Lunglei. The word siaha comes from the local Mara language and can be broken into two – "sia" means "elephant" and "ha" means "tooth" – thus, Siaha means the elephant tooth. It is believed that a large number of elephant tooth was found in this place and hence, the name Siaha. The Mizos, however, say Saiha, the name it is now known by. Saiha is largely populated by the Mara tribe and Myanmarese.
There are quite a few things that comprise Saiha tourism, such as the Pala Tipo Lake, Saikao and Mount Mawma.
