Hkakabo Razi
Top 1 in Top 4 Highest Mountains in Myanmar
With an elevation of 19,295 feet, Hkakabo Razi is Myanmar's highest point of elevation and highest mountain (5,881 meters). The peak is also the tallest in Southeast Asia, and it is located in the Greater Himalayan mountain range in the northern Myanmar state of Kachin. The Hkakabo Razi National Park, which is fully hilly and made up of broad-leaved evergreen rain forest, surrounds Mount Hkakabo Razi. Depending on the elevation, the mountain is separated into zones. Subtropical temperate (8,000 to 9,000 feet), semi-deciduous forest, needle-leaves snow forest, and alpine are among the zones.
The climate atop Hkakabo Razi Mountain is alpine, with snow more common than rainfall, especially during the winter, when temperatures range from -60 to 23 degrees Celsius. Takashi Ozaki and Nyima Gyaltsen accomplished the first ascent of the peak in 1996. Because non-citizens were not allowed into the area surrounding the peak until late 1993, the first ascent took a lengthy time. The flora and animals of Mount Hkakabo Razi and Hkakabo Razi National Park have not been thoroughly examined or researched.
