The Chindwin is a tributary of the Irrawaddy and flows entirely within Burma, spilling into the longer river a little to the south of Mandalay. What the Chindwin lacks in length, is made up in a wonderful variety of scenery including lush tropical jungles, sheer cliffs, misty-blue mountains and charming towns and villages. It is also notoriously difficult to navigate with a labyrinth of sandbars and whirlpools – but for lovers of remote river travel, this is all part of the adventure and a journey along the Chindwin is not to be missed.
