Myanmar Trekking And Hiking
 The Western Mountains Region in Myanmar is a fringe of the
Himalayas, running from north to south and receding into the ocean.
The well-known ones are Mt. Khakaborazi in Putao, the Naga Land, the
Chin Hills and the Rakhine Yoma.
The Eastern Hills Region in Myanmar consists of the Shan and Kaya
plateaus having a height of over 10,000 ft. In the Central Valley
Region, lies the famous Pondaung and Ponnya hill, Mt. Popa and the
Minwun hill.
Myanmar being composed of diverse national ethnic tribes residing in
various ranges of mountainous areas, one can not only enjoy the
natural beauty of its picturesque landscape but also explore the
civilizations and cultures of its numerous ethnic groups at the same
time.
 Putao and its environs in the Kachin State, the northernmost part of
Myanmar and the area around Mt.Victoria in the Chin State to the
northwest, are the best recommended sights for Hikings. Trekking
trips can be made all over Myanmar, but around Putao in the Kachin
State, the Chin State, the Kalaw region, the Inle Lake and its
surroundings and the Kyaington area in the Shan State, are the
places worth trekking . Mindat and Kanpetlet in the southern Chin
State and Kyaington and its nearby villages are must for those who
want to do both trekking and observation of the national ethnic
tribes’ traditions and customs.
As Myanmar generally enjoys a tropical climate season, the best time
for going trekking and hiking are from October to April. For the
adventure trips to be arranged the whole year round, local tour
operators should be discussed in advance. The suggested itineraries
for trekking and hiking are as follow:
