This area is part of a region considered one of the most biodiverse in the world. Its unspoiled beauty - the exotic flora and fauna, the tiers of mountains, the numerous rapids and cascades, side streams that 'zup' or meet with the NMai River, and the stretches of white sand beaches along the river banks - looks just as pristine as in the photos documented in noted 'plant hunter' F. Kingdon Ward's books. Kingdon Ward made a number of visits to this area between 1914 and 1953, and the locals dubbed him "Nampan Du", or "Flower Chief". Interestingly enough, there is a 87 year old man by the name of N-Nau Yaw, who said he worked as a porter for [[Kingdon Ward]]. He said he received one silver coin a day for his services. [[George Zunwa]], the first Kachin Man, who got the highest education amongst [[N-gum La School Alumni]], spent five years in N-gum La. |
