Geography
The Bago Region is split east-to-west by the broad low-lying hills of the Bago Yoma, which are almost completely uninhabited. The Irrawaddy River flows southward through the west of the region, and the Sittaung River flows through the east, both forming the two heavily populated areas of the region. There is a small coastline on the Gulf of Martaban.

The region's highest peaks are located in the far east on the border with Kayin State. There are also numerous large reservoirs in the region.
