Things to Do in Kalaw: Local Guide
Myanmar's former British hill station in Shan State is the starting point for the classic multi-day trek to Inle Lake through ethnic minority villages. The cool highland climate, colonial bungalows, morning market with Pa-O and Danu traders, and the Shwe Oo Min pagoda cave complex give Kalaw a quiet charm distinct from lowland Myanmar.
