In-Depth Information
Twice-weekly Air Bagan flights to Putao cost around $170 from Yangon, $120 from
Mandalay and $90 from Myitkyina but without tour permits you won't be allowed to
board the plane. Tours can be organised through Malikha Lodge,
Journeys
(

)
, MTT and assorted Yangon agencies.
Road transport from Myitkyina would be appallingly rough but isn't permitted anyway
for foreigners. There are a limited number of vehicles in the Putao area, almost all trucks
or WWII-era jeeps.
