Mt. VICTORIA (NATMA -TAUNG NATIONAL PARK)
10Days / 9 Nights Tour
Yangon - Bagan - Pakokku - Mintat - Mount Voctoria
It is the third highest peak of Myanmar. Natmataung as it is known in present
day, was designated as Mount Victoria during colonial days and still used in
large extent outside of Myanmar publications. 10,500 ft. (3200 m) above the sea
level, this great peak presents a good scaling track from Mintat and easier
climb from Kampetlet route.
From Mintat (4860 ft. )it would take 2 Nights on the way to reach the peak,
first night at an old lodge and second night at 9,800 ft. camp. By Kampetlet
route, the car could reach quite near to the peak, that only 3 miles walk is
remained to the top.
Mt. Victoria climbing tours can be arranged in combination with Bagan trips
from classic tours or we could arrange specifically. Your inquiries are
welcomed.
