Rakhine Mountains

‌

The Rakhine Mountains (also known as the Arakan Mountains or the Rakhine Yoma, Burmese: ရခိုင်ရိုးမ, Răhkaing Yòmá) is a long north-to-south running mountain range that occupies the western edge of Myanmar, and forms the border between Rakhine State to the west and the Magway Region to the east. It is an extension of the Chin Hills further north, with the southern end being located at Cape Negrais in the Ayeyarwady Region. The mountains' highest peak is Mount Victoria (also known as Nat Ma Taung).

The Rakhine Mountains form a part of a long line of hills and mountains that stretch from the Himalayas in the north to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Sumatra in the south. The mountains get shorter the further south they go, until they are rolling hills and dip into the Andaman Sea. There are three roads that cross the mountains.
