You may have a light good at the lodge if you wish, then your guide will take you to explore the scenic beauty of Putao and its ethnic groups’ living style by walking in and around the town. The town itself lies on small plane hill and is the most peaceful in northern Myanmar.

As soon as your breakfast is taken, you will start driving a country road of 17 km to upper Shangaung, and all the way through you will see people traveling on bull locked carts or on motor bikes, local houses and paddy fields. After being dropped off at Shangaung village, you will start climbing up the winding trail of Mt.Shangaung of 1,460 m will be a great challenging for you. But as you get to the peak you will have the panoramic view of Putao and your lunch will be served there.

You may go down to Namro creek (5 minute walk from the village) to get washed up right after you have checked in the local house. ( approx.-walking hour 8 plus one and half driving hours)

You will be awoken at first light by the village cocks crowing repeatedly, which is the vital alarm for the villagers. Most of your route today will be cool, shady and relatively flat, except some up and down spots. As you proceed to Awadum which is well-known for walnut and persimmon and home to both Lisus and Rawangs, you will encounter the local greeting you with broad smile on the way through. After walking for half hour from Awadum, you will reach Kanlan suspension bridge and have your lunch there, but you will not cross the bridge, rather pass along the Namla creek for about 2 hours to get to Ziyadum at the altitude of 1068 m above sea level, the last frontier village for this route. You will notice that all the houses of the village, being built of wood, bamboo, rattan and bark, have spacious plot with wood or bamboo fence. The villagers mainly live on cultivation, hunting and foraging for medicinal insect called “Cordycept” in botanical term, which plays main role in Chinese alternative medicine. (approxi- walking hour 5- 7)

You should not miss to enjoy the marvelous view of the snow-capped mountains surrounding, from the bank of Namlang creek early in the morning before the fog goes up. You will leave the village by the church for today’s destination through tranquil forest and see the first suspension bridge after thirty minute walk. The second suspension bridge is 10 minute walk ahead of the Chaungsone, from where your group will troop up along the twisting path of Mt.Phongun ridge to Thitpingyi camp that stands at 1850 meter, and while walking up through jungle you will hear and see varieties of bird species and calls of gibbon troops from down the valley of either side of the ridge. Thitpingyi camp is situated on the clear high ridge sheltered by tall and shady trees. (approx. walking hour: 5-6)

At sun rise you will hear the melodious sound of the nature making you feel the unique taste of being in the deep forest. The first 2 hours of today route will be winding up through mossy giant trees, you may encounter some quails, pheasants, gibbons and squirrels by chance, but the rest of today route will be pleasant to walk through high altitude bamboo groves. Your today destination is Khadaungmyit camp (2550 meter) from which you can have the clear views of Phangram if the weather permits. (Approximate walking hour: 4-5)

As you depart the Khadaungmyit camp, your path ahead will be more challenging and full of up and down terrain with narrow track, you will see Rhododendron blooming in red, white, yellow and blue colors in the vicinity of the snow line. You will start to see the patch of snow in about a half hour before reaching the base camp (snow line camp) less windy between two ridges. You will spend a night under canvas to save up more energy for target destination of the next day. (approx.walking hour: 4-5)

Wake up early and enjoy the scenery of the snow land. Since your route today will be all over the snow passage you need to set off your trip as early as possible in order to get to the summit (3675 meters) by noon. It will take you 3-4 hours to the peak depending on the condition of weather and snow. Covered with frost, the alpine trees growing on the mountain range are so sensational that it’s worth taking memorial photos of the spectacular view of gorgeous mountains scenery. You may have some refreshment on the peak after spending a few minutes in photo, and walk down with the same passage to base camp to spend one more night at the same camp. Due to ecosystem being not impaired, you may, by chance, happen to see “Takins” (endemic wild animal) which inhabit near the snow line. (approx. walking hour 6)
