» Putao – the door to Myanmar
Himalaya
 Himalaya is a
well-known range of mountain for hikers.
Yet, Himalaya in Myanmar is still
unknown to most and the door to Myanmar
Himalaya is Putao, a small and beautiful
northern extreme town in Myanmar. Only
accessible by flight from Yangon and
Mandalay, Putao still remains untouched
by world travelers today.
The surrounding area of evergreen forest
is unique in the diversity of flora and
fauna. The snow capped mountain Pong-kan-ra-ze,
61 miles away from Putao is one of the
most trekable snow-capped mountains to
conquer. Throughout the road to Pong-kan-ra-zi,
one can see Lisu, Rawang, Khanti-Shan
and Jingphaw ethnic tribes. The people
stand for their lives by farming and
cultivated paddy in the lower plains of
the valley by irrigation producing
orchids, grape fruits, honey and wax. Ma Chan
Baw, 19 km away from Putao, connected by
Malikha suspension bridge and
Mulashidee,10 km away Putao offer
fascinating view of the area. It is
advisable that the visitors can adapt
with the local people in terms of
transport, food, accommodation and ways
of life. A special travel permit is
required and book this trip well in
advance!
