Hkamti District or Khamti District (sometimes formerly Naga Hills District[1]) is a district in northern Sagaing Region of Myanmar (Burma). Its administrative center is the town of Hkamti.
The District only contains one township - Hkamti Township. Prior to 2022, the district also included Homalin Township, which was promoted to its own district in April 2022 by the Ministry of Home Affairs[2][3]
Prior to 2010,[4] it additionally controlled Lahe, Lay Shi (Lashe), and Nanyun townships, which were transferred under the 2008 Constitution[5] to the Naga Self-Administered Zone. The revised smaller district still has a significant minority Naga population.
