Sightseeing in Kalaw with a light trek to nearby villages

A popular hill station in the British days, Kalaw sits high on the western edge of the Shan Plateau. It is still a peaceful and quiet place with an atmosphere reminiscent of the colonial era. The small population is a mix of Shan, Indian Muslim, Bamar and Nepali. Visit Kalaws most interesting attractions including: Thein Taung Paya, a temple perched on the hill overlooking the Thazi-Taunggyi Road: Aung Chang Tha Zedi, a glittering stupa covered in gold-coloured mosaics: Dhamma Yon: a two-storey temple which from its top floor offers views of the town: Hsu Taung Pye Paya, ruins and crumbling stupas just behind the Dhamma YonL: Nee Paya, located just west of town and featuring a gold lacquered bamboo Buddha. And moving to the more modern, visit Christ The King Church, a Catholic church under the supervision of the Burmese Father Paul, and the Italian Father Angelo Di Meo, who have been in Myanmar since 1931. The Christ figure over the altar came from Italy, and Father Angelo painted the mural background.

Enjoy trekking in the plateau near Kalaw, which is inhabited by people of the Palaung and Pao tribes. Intha, Shan, Taungthu, Taung-yo, Danu. Kayah, Danaw and Bamar tribes occupy the mountains to the north and east. One of the main sources of income is the cultivation of thanaq-hpeq (a large leaf used to wrap Burmese cigars).
