A long time ago, in the distant lands of Bandarban, there was a beautiful young Mro maiden called Sairu. She was the daughter of the king of a mountain tribe. She had passionately fallen in love with a young man, the son of the king belonging to another hill tribe. Love knows no boundaries or restrictions and eventually, the elders got wind of the affair and got so angered by it that they took extreme measures to put an end to it. The young man was hurriedly married off to a girl from his tribe and Sairu was left alone to grieve. Heartbroken and desolate, it is told that Sairu would roam the forest alone until one day she was no more! Two trees that grew entwined on the hills at the crown on a spot along the top of the Resort Site is said to symbolize the love of Sairu. Today that spot is known as the SAIRU Point. The complex, Sairu Hill Resort, draws its name from this Mythical Love Story and the logo from the two entwined trees.
