Tamu (Sagaing Region)

Tamu is a small border town at the Myanmar-India border. It is located at the Kabaw valley of Sagaing Division and connected to Moreh, India, by a bridge crossing over Mahuyar creek.

The town is flourishing steadily after the bi-lateral trade agreement signed between Myanmar and India governments in 1994. After a decade later, the newly opened Monywa-Yagyi-Kalaywa motor road significantly shortens the length of travelling from Tamu to Mandalay which reinforces the already flourishing border trading. The town nowadays is not only a place to trade the goods from Myanmar and India but also trade the goods from Thailand and China to India and vice versa.
