Kachin State, Administrative state in northern Myanmar
The northernmost territory of Myanmar extends across 89,041 square kilometers of mountains, forests, and valleys bordering China and India.
The region transformed into an official state following Myanmar's independence from British rule in 1948, leading to decades of territorial disputes.
The population includes multiple ethnic groups such as Kachin, Bamar, Rawang, Lisu, Zaiwa, and Maru, each maintaining their traditional practices.
The capital city Myitkyina serves as the primary transportation hub, connecting visitors to other regions through its airport and railway station.
The territory contains Hkakabo Razi, Myanmar's highest peak at 5,889 meters, and Indawgyi Lake, the country's largest natural freshwater body.
