Kalaw Trekking

Kalaw is a former British colonial hill station in the Shan Hills with a nice climate and relaxed atmosphere.  When people say they have trekked Myanmar, they have probably trekked to, from or around Kalaw. Not that it’s the only good trekking, not by a long shot, just that it’s the most convenient and popular. This is in no small part because of its proximity to Inle Lake, which is a 2 or 3 day hike to reach it’s fabled shores.
