Mukhkaung

Mukhkaung is a town located in Kachin State, Myanmar. It lies along the Ledo Road, a historically significant supply route connecting India and China during World War II. Mukhkaung is situated within the Hukawng Valley, a region known for its biodiversity, including significant populations of tigers and elephants. The area is also known for its amber deposits, which have led to both legal and illegal mining activities. Due to its location in Kachin State, Mukhkaung has been affected by ongoing ethnic conflicts and political instability in the region. Access to the area can be restricted due to security concerns.
