Mt. Victoria

Towering 3071 meter from sea, Mt. Victoria is located within Natmataung National Park. Base of it can be reached by road both from Kanpetlet and Mindat but the last 3km is done on foot. The journey to the summit is more impressive than the broad summit itself. Once you step off the road to start the trek, you are in true wilderness as you encounter beautiful scenery with colorful Rhododendron flowers and other wild flowers like orchid and birds. From the summit you will enjoy the fantastic view of the entire plain. There is a small pagoda and sitting Buddha Image on the top and its one of the most popular destinations among locals.
