Malikha Lodge - Putao
Who should go?
The Malikha Lodge is a luxury property in one of the world's few remaining unspoiled natural areas, suited for adventurers and leisure travelers alike. Guests can spend their days with the Lodge's expert guides exploring the beautiful Himalayan Mountain area on foot, discovering local villages and rafting along the Nam Long River. Or for something more relaxing, the Lodge offers indulgent traditional massages, a swimming pool with stunning views and spacious balconies from which to enjoy the scenery. Conscientious travelers need not worry- the Lodge's staff are dedicated to preserving the natural beauty of the area and contribute to the local community by hiring and training indigenous staff. With elegant touches such as 6-ft round teak baths in every room, staying at the Malikha Lodge is an experience in itself!
When to go?
Malikha Lodge is only accessible during the dry cool months of October to April.
Where is it?
Malikha Lodge is located on the edge of the Himalayan Mountains in Myanmar's remote northwest corner. The Lodge is a twenty minute drive from Putao airport which is serviced by sporadic flights to and from Yangon and Myitkyina.

An alfresco massage at Bamboo Grove Spa. Trekking to remote villages. Rafting down the Nam Long River. Lazing on the riverside deck. Evening cocktails around the main lodge's fireplace. Riding on the back of an elephant through the jungle.

Meals are served in the Lounge which features a soaring ceiling punctuated by two fireplaces and is indicative of the simple elegance of the property.
