Leen Nupa, also spelled Len Nupa, is a valley in Tedim, Chin state, Myanmar.. Also known as 'Buan Nel'.

The valley has a rich culture and nearly sacred meaning to the locals. It was here where the ancient Zomi believed that their souls met on this mountain after death. Ancient local cultures prayed over animals here. Leen Nupa is one of the most famous mountains in the Zomi culture, boasting a rich history over the lush grass. The Zoo people or Zomi,(meaning highlanders), also known as the Mizo, the Kuki, the Chin and a number of other names, are a large group of Tibeto-Burman related peoples. This population is spread throughout the northeastern states of India, northwestern Myanmar (Burma) and the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh. In northeastern India, they are present in Nagaland, Mizoram, Manipur, and Assam. The current spreading across international borders is the result of British colonial territory's policy, focusing on drawing borders on political grounds rather than ethnic ones.[1]

The Zomi people have typical Tibeto-Burman features and are generally of short stature with straight black hair and dark brown eyes. Natively, the Zo speak one of the fifty or so languages that linguists call the Kuki-Chin language group.

Its geographical location is at latitude 23.275217 and longitude 93.515884.
