Nogmung (Burmese: နောင်မွန်းမြို့); sometimes Naung Mung or Naun Mong and combinations) is a town of about 1000 inhabitants (2006) in northern Kachin State (Myanmar, the former Burma). It is the last town encountered when hiking northwards to the Hkakabo Razi National Park and the highest peak of Myanmar, Mt. Hkakabo Razi. Nogmung is also the gateway for Tahaundam, the northernmost village of Myanmar. Nogmung is famous for its birds, and many endemic species are postulated to exist there. Most recently the Naung Mung Scimitar-babbler (Jabouilleia naungmungensis) was described.[1] The Smithsonian's National Zoo and the Hkakabo Razi National Park Authorities have surveyed the avifauna since 2001 in Putao, Nogmung, and northwards to Tahaundam.[2]
