Best Trekking Routes in Myanmar
Kalaw to Pindaya

Kalaw is just the beginning of the trekking tour. The inhabitants of the southeast Shan mountain ranges are the Pao, Palaung and Danu. In the beginning, one needs to go across some Pao, Palaung and Danu villages which take more than 1 hour. Passing through these villages is a good chance to see and explore different Shan races’ life. Several families live together here, in a long line of houses, which is absolutely too wonderful for tourists to ignore. The tribes cultivate seasonal crops. There are also leaves called Say Ywat Kyi which are used by the Burmese to wrap the cheroot of the home-made cigar. The journey ends at Pindaya. The trekking trip may take about one day and one night.
