Kalaw

Up in the Shan hills, the climate is noticeably cooler here than below on the plains, which adds to the relaxed atmosphere in Kalaw. The streets are wide and the surrounding hills offer some of the best trekking in Burma, with the chance to visit traditional tribal villages nearby.

The town has a market, which is well worth taking some time to explore. Kalaw’s population is an eclectic mix of Nepali Gurkhas and Indian Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims, who remained here after the end of British colonial rule.
