Htamanthi

Htamanthi stands on the Chindwin River in the forested highlands of northwestern Burma. The river winds south through a broad valley between the surrounding hills, joining the Irrawaddy farther downstream. Around 1700 gardens were planted at Htamanthi and neighbouring villages, and the settlement became known for producing pickled tea. The river connects the village with other communities along the Chindwin through a landscape of forest and mountain.
