Myanmar Adventure Guide by Shota

Although Government put a lot of energy into development of the PUTAO circumference as begun, and between Myitkyina and PUTAO can go in 2 nights 3 days by car was hearing the talk that a driveway was under construction exceeding Jade Mountain from PUTAO recently.

I didn't believe those construction can be finished within 2005 or 2006.
Because it was the thing of Myanmar at any rate.

It was surprised when I saw the car road under construction with Bulldozer
in Jade Mountain.

Local people said it had been driven Bulldozer itself from Myitkyina to Putao.
It took 2 weeks.

They are making completely new road.

The way was made in the place which has not only made the former mountain path large and is completely different from a former way.

We could drive until altitude 900m on the new road.
It took just 3 hours from the place we got off the car to the village
after Jade mountain.

Old path was steep & narrow & no view at all.
We have to be really carefull if we trek in the raining.

It took 5 hours when we use old mountian path from Upper Shangaung to
the village after Jade mountain.

New road is wider than old mountain path which is not used
by local people now.

We can trek more easily & get the good view for Putao by new car road which is called as it.


wided path in Jade mountain

But I thought there is not enough car in Putao that even this road could cross Jade mountain .

they were nice pictures, can everyone go there?

I think you are Myanmar citizen.
If so,you don't have to get the permission.
So you can go .
But foreigners need to get the permission.
Is it enough answer for you ?

If you are asking about phyisical strongness,Mt.Phangrum is a bit hard.

But if you can take enough tour perioud,it's OK.

If you don't have physical strongness ,I recommend Mt.Phonekan.
