We hope that you will be very familiar with Mt. Victoria. Well, Mt. Victoria is the highest mountain in Chin State and the third highest in Myanmar. We are now at the some part of Mt. Victoria or Natmataung National Park. Natmataung or Mt. Victoria is 10,200 ft about the sea level. You’ll see around me the green forests, blooming well flowers in beautiful colours and you will also see invaluable orchids blooming and hangings on the trees.

You can hear the humming of birds and you can also feel atmosphere of forest. There are 277 species of birds, 77 species of butterflies and many other animals.

Such as bison, somber, wild goat, bear, stag, barking deer, tiger and varieties of monkeys are found here. The white browed nut hatch is the endemic bird of Natmataung.

There are various kinds of plants in the area. Medicinal plants such as cinnamon, sandal wood and cinchona tree from whose bark quinine is obtained, are found. There are also myriads of herbs in the area.The forest coverage is thick. At the top of the range, thick woods are common on the bee wardss or sheltered side while the windward side usually sparsely wooded.

Along the range, open plots are covered with grass. However, when one is half way up to Natmataung peak, it is irresistible to finish the last lap. Would up like to join the hike?
