Hkamti District or Khamti District (sometimes Naga Hills District[1]) is a district in northern Sagaing Division of Burma (Myanmar). Its administrative center is the town of Singkaling Hkamti.


The district consists of the two townships:




  • Hkamti Township, and

  • Homalin Township


Prior to 2010,[2] it additionally controlled Lahe, Lay Shi (Lashe), and Nanyun townships, which were transferred under the 2008 Constitution[3] to the Naga Self-Administered Zone. The revised smaller district still has a significant minority Naga population.
