About Katha

In her bookFinding George Orwell in Burma, Emma Larkin writes of Katha; Katha is the last city of the Kachin State and it was included in Sagaing Division after Ne Win's 1962 coup. Once part of the famous boat ride from Myitkina to Mandalay, the few tourists that make it this far are usually driven by the desire to see the town and buildings that feature inBurmese Days. Today it exists as a charming river town, friendlier than its cousin upriver,Bhamo. If you wanted to spend some time doing nothing; there are worse places to be.
