Pandaung Range

The Pondaung Range rises between the Yaw valley and the central plains of Burma. Its wooded ridges run alongside the Chin Hills farther west, enclosing long valleys crossed by streams and villages. The rocks of the range preserve fossil remains of ancient mammals, including early primates. East of the hills lies the great basin of the Irrawaddy, while the valleys to the west lead towards the mountainous Chin country.
