Rank : 10.0 (average on 1 votes)

Coordinates : 21.369921, 93.972201 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Monte Victoria and its National Park, rich in flora and fauna, an ideal place for birdwatching. Between Mindat and Kanpetlet (the two towns located on opposite sides of Mount Victoria) there are several Chin tribal villages. The chin is an ethnic group of Tibetan-Burmese origin that still lives on agriculture and hunting. Animal sacrifices still play an important role in the animistic chin ceremonies, despite declaring almost all of them Christians. Each village also has a Buddhist pagoda. Of particular interest are the women tattooed on the face.

Recommended equipment : Fixed and bright optics are ideal for portraits and reports inside homes that are sometimes very dark. at the pasgagistic level, large-scale goals will surely be useful and for birders, supertele lovers can not miss.

Best months : The best time is the dry season: from October to May, avoiding the monsoon rains that make many roads unworkable.

How to get there : There is no public transport to get to the chin state so you need to rent a 4X4 off-road vehicle with a guide to get to Mindat starting from Nyaung U (with 8 hours of travel).

Visits : Special permits are no longer required to visit the part of the chin state around Mount Victoria, but a guide is recommended to wander through the hills and chin villages or to hike in the Mount Victoria National Park.
