Ziyardam, situated in the north west of PutaO to be the last village to India border, is renowned for being rich in rare species of biodiversity, and for being a perfect point for trekking to Myanmar Himalayan snow-capped mountains.

The inhabitants of the village are the Rawangs, one of the four minorities living in Putao. Due to poor infrastructure and difficult access to the region, the village life remains uninfluenced by any outsiders in term of culture and social, rather surrounding pristine forest and the snow-mountains seen from the village are eyes-catching to the visitors.

Day 1: Putao (451 meters)

Just as you arrive at the PutaO airport, you will feel the quiet atmosphere and the very fresh air. After greeting, your guide will transfer you to PutaO Guest house. After refreshment, you can explore the culture of the minorities living there while walking in and out of the town. Then you will notice that the town itself lies on the small plateau surrounded by beautiful snow mountains from the west to the north. The majority of the PutaO live on farming and natural resources like gold, forest production etc, whereas a few local are engaged in trading. The locals are carefree people- not greedy for anything as long as they have harvested enough rice for the whole year. You will have only fresh organic food in Putao.
