This tour is ideal for those who desire a challenging yet rewarding experience of Myanmar's wild frontier, far beyond conventional tourist paths.

Your Putao trekking adventure is a true expedition into a biodiverse wilderness.

Our expert local guides and dedicated support team (porters, cooks), intimately familiar with every trail, condition, and the survival skills required, will ensure your safety and comfort in this challenging environment.

The core of this Myanmar Himalayan trekking holiday lies in the unique opportunity for deep cultural immersion. You'll encounter and interact with a variety of ethnic minority groups, such as the Rawang and Lisu, living traditional lives dictated by the rhythms of the mountains. You'll stay in simple yet authentic village houses or comfortable campsites, share meals cooked over open fires, and learn about their unique customs, languages, and ancient hunting or farming techniques.
