Title

A New record at 5,870 metres Until recently, the highest peak in Myanmar – and Southeast Asia – was thought to be Hkakabo Razi, reputed to be 5,881 metres high. However, this figure, establishe­d in 1925, has become a matter of some contention, with Gamlang Razi in the remote north of Kachin State, on the eastern edge of the Himalaya Mountains, as possibly the highest peak at 5,870.084 metres.
