Be away from
the concrete jungle and high rise buildings of a stressful city
living
Start
your trekking from Kalaw which is a peaceful summer resort nestled
in pine-tree clad a former colonial British hill station. Hear
the whispers and feel the fresh cool breezes of the Shan Plateau
sweeping your face as you trek up and down the hills at an altitude
of 1400 metre (4600 ft). Kalaw is located about 71 km to the west of
Taunggyi, the capital of the Southern Shan State.
 The
Palaung, Danu, Pa-O and Taung Yo hill tribes are living around
Kalaw. They earn their livelihood as farmers. During trekking, you
breathe in the fresh breezes of the Shan Plateau, experience a
glimpse of the way of life of the hill tribes in their villages. You
will sight-see a train perhaps, cross railway lines, take
photographs of the paddy/rice/ginger fields. In some areas, you will
see fruit trees, sesame fields, tea plantations.
If you choose night-stop trekking, you will spend the night in the
hill tribes' village and be able to observe their traditional way of
lives.
