untouched by foreign visitors. This is the region where the mountain tribes
such as Jinphaw, Lisu, Rawang, Shan and other ethnic groups live at the foot
of the mountains, on the banks of meandering rivers or in the tropical
forests of the Hukawng Valley, shrouded with the misty memories of the past
especially for those who once came to this part of the World during the
Second World War.
