The Hmar people are found in the hills of south Manipur, Mizoram, Cachar, North Cachar, Meghalaya, Tripura and Chittagong Hill Tracts. Although these areas are within different administrative divisions, they are geographically connected.

In Mizoram, the Hmars live mostly in the north, especially in the Aizawl District.
In Assam, the Hmars live in the Cachar and North Cachar Hills District.
In Meghalaya, the Hmars live in the Jaintia Hills District and Shillong in Khasi Hills District.
In Tripura, the Hmars mostly live in and around Darchawi, a village on the Mizoram – Tripura border.
Rest of India: A considerable number of the Hmars have moved to metropolitan cities spread across India. Majority of them are found in New Delhi followed by Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, Kolkata, Chennai and other towns.
