Hkrangkao is a village in Hsawlaw Township in Myitkyina District in the Kachin State of north-eastern Burma.

History

In early 1912 Hkrangkao was visited by Captain B. E. A. Pritchard while undertaking exploration work in Northern Burma. Pritchard observed the local farming practices while the country was undergoing a crop failure, with up to six crops in each field and Caryota urens planted to be consumed to avert famines.^[2]
