Putao is located in the far north of Myanmar in Kachin State, the site of a British world war two fortress and famous for its orchids.
This scenic region of Myanmar is quite remote and only accessible by road during the summer (by air all year round). Putao is within sight of snow-capped mountains to the north and is home to numerous hill-tribe people.
The wonderful Malikha Lodge offers luxurious accommodation by the famous architect Jean Michel Gathy of Aman Resorts fame.
