Trekking Specialist
Icy river expedition
One of the highlights of any visit to
Myanmar is our exclusive three-day wilderness journey on
the pristine western headwaters of the Ayeyarwaddy .
Suitable for most age groups, the Nam Lang River
combines the thrill of Class 3 and 4 whitewater through
thickly forested canyons, with a closer insight into a
people and way of life unchanged for centuries. This
river journey is an incredible combination of white
water, scenery, villages, and truly quiet and
introspective evenings in our private camps.
Day 1:
Arrive at Putao Airport and transfer to Malikha Lodge in time
for lunch. Afternoon at leisure in the grounds of our beautiful
wilderness lodge, with time for a refreshing swim or spa treatment.
Group dinner and drinks at the main lodge in front of our open
fireplaces, and briefing from Ayeyarwaddy Expeditions on the following
days adventure. Day 2:
Trek to Nam Lang Valley. An hours drive from Malikha Lodge we
pass the village of Upper Sangaung which marks the beginning of the
jungle. The road continues on for a few more km, towards the pass
leading into the Nam Lang Valley to the beginning of our trek. We trek
at a moderate pace for six to seven hours, four hours to the top of
the pass, and another two down to our river camp. In traditional style
the porters carry all the expedition food and equipment ahead, leaving
us free to enjoy this scenic trek through untouched subtropical forest
and giant bamboo. Our river camp lies close to the first river canyon,
which is marked by a spectacular rattan and bamboo bridge across the
river.
Day 3:
First day rafting. The following day, after breakfast everyone
is fitted with their specialist rafting gear, while the trip leader
and safety kayaker give an extensive lesson in river safety and
paddling technique. We pass by the remote Lisu village of Nam Ze, at
the foot of more snow-capped peaks. This is our last contact with
"civilization" as we take an isolated loop into the lower canyons. Two
hours below this village and we encounter some excellent technical
rapids. From here we raft down to our final river beach camp at the
beginning of the second canyon
Day 4:
Second day rafting. After a hearty breakfast we start the final
and most challenging days rafting. An hour later, we reach three
exciting and technical rapids stacked in succession in a tight bedrock
canyon. The trio of rapids ends with a bang in a series of drops
between massive boulders. From here it is about three hours rafting
and leisurely cruising back to our home at Malikha Lodge, where a
glass of champagne and long hot shower awaits.
Day 5:
Return to Mandalay/Yangon. After a final leisurely breakfast at
Malikha Lodge, check out and late morning transfer to Putao airport to
connect with your flight back to Mandalay and the rest of your
itinerary.
