Only the bravest travellers explore the hills of this remote and rural region, the least developed of the three regions.
Explore the
picturesque Shan and Palaung villages from the charming and peaceful
town of Hsipaw, the ancient royal city; enjoy the descent of the
Ayeyarwady River – also known as Irrawaddy - and then visit the pearl of the extreme north of the country:
Putao.
Be sure to take a cruise to the mystical
Shwe Myitsu Pagoda, followed by a trip to
Indawgyi Lake. Admire the colonial architecture of
Pyin Oo Lwin, the former capital of British Burma, then take the rickety train across the impressive
Gokteik Viaduct, Myanmar’s highest railway bridge.
