Malikha Lodge

The beautiful Malikha Lodge is the perfect introduction and final farewell to Northern Kachin State. Perched high above the Nam Lang River with glorious views of mountains and rice terraces, Malikha Lodge has been designed by world famous architect Jean Michel Gathy of Aman Resorts, to create a feeling of luxury and seclusion in this wilderness setting. The focal point of Malikha Lodge is the main lodge, where guests come to gather around two blazing log fires for drinks, dining or just pure relaxation. The lodges manicured lawns and exotic gardens are carefully landscaped to merge with pockets of old growth bamboo and jungle. Traditional style bungalows have been carefully placed to recreate a sense of idyllic village life in this open garden paradise.

Each bungalow is a spacious living area centered upon an enormous handcrafted teak bathtub. Placed discreetly amongst towering bamboo trees, one has the feeling of total privacy and relaxation. A custom made fireplace next to the bath completes the sense of indulgence and luxury, and also provides warmth for the private daybeds outside, where views of distant mountains can be enjoyed through the foliage. The lodge currently has eight bungalows, but by Christmas it will increase to ten bungalows. The lodges offers 3, 4 and 7 night stays, rates shown are based on 3 nights stay.

In keeping with the feeling of a private house party the chef will prepare a choice of set menus for lunch and dinner, including vegetarian options. The theme is refined continental country style in keeping with the wilderness mountain location. With advance notice, special dietary requirements or special events can be catered for.

Daytime activities range from short jungle treks to river diving, mountain biking, scenic raft trips and kayaking. All the excursions are accompanied by informative local guides, and provide a unique insight into local village life, as well as the opportunity for outdoor exercise in a pristine wilderness environment.

Malikha Lodge is situated in Northern Kachin State, Myanmar’s greenest and most remote state. Access to the lodge is a fifteen-minute drive from the small frontier town of Putao.
