Putao to Machan Baw


The town of "Putao", a quaint district town, situated 1,342ft above sea-level, in Kachin State in the north of the Union of Myanmar. Putao is 725 miles by plane from Yangon, and is part of the Himalayan mountain range.

Putao is situated on a plateau in the middle of high mountain ranges. The distinctive factor of Putao is that it is surrounded by Southeast Asia's only snow-capped mountain. Known as "Pu Taung" in the Shan language, the town of Putao is inhabited by national brethrens such as the Bamar, Jing Phaw, Rawan, Lisu and Khamti Shan who live there peacefully side-by-side.


The dark and misty mountain ranges, the winding stream flowing down these mountain sides and the turning and curving roads snaking across these mountains and the quaint traditional houses of our national brethrens adds up to the picturous beauty of Putao.
