 KekkuA two hours drive from Taunggyi through a landscape dotted with clusters of villages and fields of red soil, brings you to Kekku. Center of worship for the Pa-O living region for centuries. On a small plot of elevated land and overlooking the Hopong valley, ancient pagodas, many in ruins, stand. Some are choked by the roots of banyan trees and other by creeper vines but one thing in common is that the stucco sculptures remain in relatively good condition under the ravages of time and weather. Annually in March, on the full Moon day of Tabaung which is the last month of the Myanmar lunar calendar, the pagoda festival takes place. |

Kachin Information Northern Myanmar (Kachin State)Kachin State is situated in the extreme north of Myanmar. Most of Myanmar’s snow-capped mountains are located within the state of Kachin. Its approximate area is 34,379 square miles. This region is full of variety of geographical zones, snow-capped mountains, zoology, botany and forestry etc. The famous place in this region is ‘Myitsone’ (in Myanmar means the confluence of Maihka and Mailikha River which join together and become as Ayeyarwaddy River, the important source of Myanmar). Indawgyi Lake, the largest natural lake in Myanmar (40 miles long and 70 miles broad). Myitkyina is the main city of Kachin State. People of Kachin, Rawun, Lisu, Jingphaw and Khamti-Shan are the representative nationalities who living in Kachin state. People Although located within the Kachin State, area around Putao has only a small population of Kachin people and there are more Kanty Shan, lawan and Risu peoples. There live many Lisu people married to Chinese. At the foot of the Mt.Hkakaborazi is the village if Taphungdan where some Tibbetan people live and they still maintain the custom of sharing a same wife among brothers. Ages ago Taron people of average 110 cm height were seen here. Unfortunately today there remains only one genuine Taron - blood man and the tribe is almost vanishing. Village of Taphungdan has no genuine Taron anymore yet there live many Tarons married to other tribes, who grows taller and show no physical sign of Tarons. In Putao, there lives one Tibet lady married to a Lisu man who owns a shop of medical herbs and other products at the Putao’s market. Agriculture Mainly grows rice and corn but some areas are not appropriate for rice field. Corns are used as winter preservation food as well. On trekking and mountain climbing tours, rice is purchased at Putao. Rice is also used as part of a payment for portage service as well as money on the way to Mt.Hkakaborazi, thus we will carry bags of rice all the way from Putao on our tours. Life Rawans mainly work in agriculture but some do fishing and hunting especially during the off-field season. As guns are not available, stone-made crossbows with poison on the edge are widely used to hunt animals like bears and dears. Chinese buyers will come promptly from Putao and buy animals once hunted. Rawans also gather wild herbs from mountains and bring them to Putao to sell as medicines in order to make some cash income. Some Lisu people do trading of illegally hunted ivory of elephants on Chinese borders. In general, more Lisu people deal in border trade than Rawans and some cross the border to Chinese territory for business. Recently more and more Lisu people deal in jade produced in Putao area.
