Biodiversity of Khakaborazi National Park, Hponkanrazi Wildlife Sanctuary heightens ecotourism in high season

The Khakaborazi National Park, the icy mountain featuring biodiversity, and the Hponkanrazi Wildlife Sanctuary in Kachin State are attracting visitors locally in high season.
Biodiversity is showcased in the museum in Putao town. Visitors can go to the snow-capped mountain through Putao town and it takes more than seven days from there. Travellers can go on a one-day trip to the Hponkanrazi Wildlife Sanctuary located in the west of Putao District. Visitors can enjoy the scenery of icy mountains in Putao as well.
“Visitors have to take necessary measures to climb up Khakaborazi in high season. Khakaborazi is the largest national park and rich in biodiversity, which are the main attractions to foreign tourists and local travellers.
The biodiversity and scenery of icy mountains are catching the attention of the travellers, said U Aung Myat Soe, a warden of Khakaborazi National Park.
Khakaborazi has been declared as an ASEAN heritage park. Hponkanrazi is regarded as a protected area as well. The warden office of Khakaborazi National Park, museum featuring biodiversity, and ecosystem, the orchid garden and Korea-Myanmar biodiversity research centre are located in Putao.
