Trekking tour in Northern Myanmar
“Trekking is also about the art of improvisation”
Brief: Trekking in mountainous Shan State entails an informal exchange of challenges and rewards. One minute you may find yourself struggling up a steep hill but the next minute you are standing on top of the mountain enjoying an awe-inspiring vista across endless green hills or sharing a traditional meal with hospitable locals.
Kalaw: Kalaw is a hill town in the Shan State of Burma. It is located in Kalaw Township in Taunggyi District.
Pindaya: Mainly famous for its limestone caves called Pindaya caves where thousands of Buddha images have been consecrated for worship over the centuries, it is also one of the towns that host an itinerant market every fifth day.
Inle Lake: Inle Lake is the second largest natural lake in Myanmar. It is situated in the middle of the Naungshwe Valley, nestled between two mountain ranges that extend north to south. The Lake has length of 22km and a width of 11km and is 875 meters above sea level.

Kalaw (TaryawTrekking)
Meet at your hotel with our guide and car then transfer to the starting point to start the trekking for authentic Palaung tribe villages called Taryaw. This village is about 9 Km north east of Kalaw and there are two ways to get to this village. First, you can take the forest route where you will be walking among the Pine woods and by side of small mountain spring. This way is a bit shady but some time it can be muddy. Rough trekking boots are recommended. Overall, this part is more beautiful. You also have another option like taking a horse or an Ox-cart. But this is only possible if you take the Ox-cart route. So it has two different tracks to get to this village. Both trekking parts would meet up at the village and they take almost the same duration like 2 & ½ hours. Things to see at the village are Palaung ladies with their traditional costumes, tealeaf plantation and making cheroot raping using cordial leaves baking on the oven.
