Kalaw
Once a hill station for the British to escape the heat of the plains, Kalaw is surrounded by forested hills dotted with hill tribe villages. With a cultural mix of Indian, Nepalese and Burmese, the town itself is a laidback enclave of colourful markets, crumbling colonial buildings and charming hotels, and is an ideal base from which to explore the bewitching beauty of the Shan State.
A number of treks lead from Kalaw into the pine forests, lush farmlands, paddy fields and tea plantations of the surrounding countryside, allowing visitors of all abilities to experience this verdant and serene landscape.
