Myanmar’s Kachin State in the Eastern Himalayas remains one of the least visited wilderness areas on earth, offering unique opportunities for true frontier exploration. It has only recently become possible to visit many areas of this little known destination. Putao trekking house offers exclusive trekking programs into this tribal land of dense forests and snow-capped mountains, which to this day remains completely cut off from the modern world.

With little in the way of roads or development the Northern Myanmar ecosystem remains incredibly intact and is internationally recognized as a hotspot of biodiversity. Climax old growth forest is common, supporting a huge range of animal and bird life while in the high alpine meadows many of Asia’s rarest flowers thrive. This is a place of pristine beauty, exotic cultures and some of the most radical topography on earth. Traveling in Kachin State is full of simple delights and opportunities that can no longer be found elsewhere, providing timeless and unpretentious experiences.
