Sagaing Jungle

The forested hills near Sangpang Bum rise above the upper Chindwin, between the Hukawng valley and the Naga highlands. At the southern end of Hukawng the Chindwin passes rapids before entering the country of Singkaling Hkamti. That small Shan state lay on both banks of the river, amid a region also inhabited by Kachin and Naga communities.
