Travel Guide Wethali

One of the most popular excursions in the vicinity of Mrauk-U is the visit of the Chin villages. You will visit between 2 and 4 villages, known for their women with tattooed faces. A tradition that is being lost... The last tattooist has passed away and only a few women per village, of a certain age, still proudly wear this attribute. The walk is a bit touristy because the Chin have been used to receiving visitors for a few years now. These villages are the only ones you will probably be able to see in the country, as the Chin State remains under high government surveillance. This region remains under high tension and the political situation is changing rapidly. Keep yourself informed in real time. The tour is by boat. To reach the pier, about ten kilometers from the city. The visit is organized at least the day before. Often impossible during the wet season, it will cost you between 75 and 100 US$ to share up to 4 people.
