Getting There & Around

How to Get to Lenya National Park

Lenya lies in far-southern Myanmar’s Tanintharyi Region. There is no direct international-access infrastructure; access typically begins in the regional hub of Kawthaung or the town of Myeik, followed by chartered river transport and overland arrangements coordinated with local guides or conservation organizations. Travelers should coordinate with accredited tour operators and be aware of current travel advisories for Myanmar.

Tips for Visiting Lenya National Park

  • Hire a guide with local forest knowledge - much of the park is remote and requires river travel or jungle tracks.
  • Bring sturdy, quick-dry clothing and insect netting; leeches and mosquitoes can be persistent in the wet season.
  • Expect limited infrastructure: arrange food, fuel, and medical contingency plans in advance through an accredited tour operator.
