Nat Ma Taung (Mt Victoria)

Myanmar third highest mountain, at 3,109m. This is a lovely, remote mountain, with fine walking. Exciting natural life. You can camp on the mountain.

Chin state is troubled and hard of access, but  (as of 2012) a trip to Mount Victoria from Bagan was do-able. This takes 4 days, with a high driving to walking ratio (15hrs there in 2012, shorter return journey). Bad roads.

This used to be a two day hike, but a jeep track now gets you nearer the top if you want, so a shorter trek is doable.

Lonely Planet's Myanmar has starter information  on the area.

To go or not: until recently, there were major issues with visiting Myanmar, as a result of the money and affirmation that the regime receives from visitors - with counter-arguments to the effect that money to the desperately poor locals and foreign contact is more important. These were well put in the 2009 Lonely Planet. But, with the release of Aung San Suu Kyi, the debate has for the time being changed; she cautiously welcomes visitors coming to Myanmar.
