Kengtung, also known as Kyaingtong, is a scenic town nestled in the eastern Shan State of Myanmar, near the Golden Triangle region. Renowned for its ethnic diversity, Kengtung is home to Shan, Akha, Lahu, and Wa communities, making it a cultural mosaic. This melting pot of traditions is visible in the vibrant marketplaces where tribal costumes and handicrafts are traded. The town's highlights include Wat Zom Kham, a large Shan-style Buddhist temple, and the tranquil Naung Tung Lake. Kengtung's surroundings, dotted with hill tribe villages and scenic treks, offer rich exploration opportunities. This town, with its distinct cultural tapestry and natural allure, provides a unique glimpse into Myanmar's remote corners.
Start your journey at the bustling Kengtung Market, where you can shop for local handicrafts, fresh produce, and traditional clothing. The market offers an authentic glimpse into the daily lives of Kengtung's residents and is an ideal place to interact with the local community.
The Wat Zom Kham is a stunning Buddhist temple in Kengtung, known for its intricate gold stenciling, impressive architecture, and vibrant murals. Take a guided tour to learn about the temple's history, marvel at its architecture, and witness the daily rituals and ceremonies performed by local monks.
Kengtung is surrounded by numerous hill tribe villages, each with its unique customs and traditions. Embark on a guided trek to visit the Akha, Lahu, and Wa tribes, among others, to learn about their way of life, traditional crafts, and agricultural practices. These treks often involve staying overnight in the villages, allowing you to immerse yourself in the local culture and hospitality.
Located 33 kilometres from Kengtung, Loi Mwe is a former British colonial hill station offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Explore the remnants of colonial buildings, visit the ancient Buddhist monastery, and stroll through tea plantations for a memorable experience.
To truly appreciate Kengtung's stunning scenery, book a hot air balloon ride. As you float above the lush countryside, you'll get a bird's-eye view of picturesque rice paddies, rolling hills, and traditional villages. This once-in-a-lifetime experience is sure to leave a lasting impression.
Kengtung's culinary scene is a delightful blend of Burmese, Shan, and Thai influences. Sample delicious dishes like khao soi (noodle soup), Shan-style rice, and flavourful curries. Don't miss out on trying the local rice wine and tea during your stay.
