vehicles. Not only do you have the option to choose mountain and peak trekking

Let us discover some of the best peak and mountain hiking
zones for your next holiday in Myanmar:
As you walk around the Phongan Razi Mountain, towering 3635
meters above the sea, you’ll witness one of the best unspoilt natures, flora
and fauna, the pristine purity of the forest and ecological system of the
southern part of the Himalayan region. Located in the northeast of Putao,
Phongan Razi is one of the popular trekking peaks in Myanmar region. Your
trekking route will travel through rhododendron forest, semi deciduous forest,
and, at higher altitude these forests changes into alpine, snow-covered rocky
slopes and couloirs. However, the enthralled wide-ranging view of India and
Myanmar Himalayas will certainly reward you if you can make it to its summit.
Similarly, if you consider trekking in the Phon Yin Razi
Mountain, located in the north western Myanmar Himalayas close to Indian
border, this 4282 meter peak will probably give you the most rewarding climb in
Myanmar. As you pass by the lush forests and the steep cliffs, cross the
hanging bridges and watch the snowcapped Himalayan Mountains, you’ll realize
it’s all worth your Myanmar trekking decision. Most importantly, you‘ll
recognize this spectacular spot especially this astonishingly distinctive
floristic region if you happen to spend some time at the summit.
As a part of the Sino-Himalayan Mountain, Hkakabo Razi Mountain
is situated in the northern Putao in South East Asia. This frontier land in
Myanmar is covered with evergreen forests, perfidious rivers and glaciers.
You’ll have to pass through Hkakaborazi National park surrounded with vegetation ranging from dense tropical lowland forests, subtropical hill
forests and in due course through the temperate rain-forests, to glaciers and
alpine meadows. Hkakabo Razi is often
described as one of the most dangerous and difficult mountains. Consequently,
your climbing experience could be a little difficult unless you’re a veteran
explorer. For your information, till now, only two explorers had managed to
reach its peak only on their second attempt in the year 1996. So before you
decide to trek in this part of the Himalayan Mountains, prepare yourself to endure
the challenging wilderness of nature.
Coming back to the land, if you’re keen to explore the native
indigenous people of Myanmar, do take up village trekking for sure. The Putao
Valley village, the Lisu village, the beautiful Rawang trail, Hsipaw, Shan
State, the Kachin tribal village is some of the best you could visit during
your Myanmar trekking. This will give you a glimpse of their rich culture and
their simple daily lives.

a super adventurous Myanmar trekking experience.
