Mt. Phon Kan Razi Trek

Himalayan Panorama

Since November 2000 I have been four times to the little town Putao in Kachin State in the far north of Myanmar as a tour guide, leading treks which lasts sixteen days and leads partly over small hunting trails through the dense jungle and forests of the Himalayas.
Goal is the top of Mt. Phon Kan Razi at an altitude of 3635 metres situated northwest of Putao on the border with Arunachal Pradesh (India) far from the civilised world.
I have reached the summit of the snow capped mountain three times. The first time was in December 2000 when I accompanied the first non-Myanmar group which has been on the top.

* There are two different routes from Wason Dum to Ziya Dum Village. One on the east and one on the west side of the Nam Lang River. The west route combines crossing the Namru Pass with an extra night in Lonnat Dum Village. I prefer to walk both routes and choose to do the latter on the way back from Ziya Dum Village.

I have developed the Mt. Phon Kan Razi Trek itinerary for the Dutch tour operator Himalaya Trekking Wandelreizen in co-operation with the private tour operator Myanmar Himalaya Trekking and Culture Co., Ltd. from Yangon.
