Many people pass through Kalaw to visit Inle Lake, but fewer stop and stay in the town. However, we predict that in 2020, visitors will discover that It’s well worth spending some time to enjoy its charms! Located about 50 kilometers from the famous Inle Lake, Kalaw is a beautiful town with many old colonial buildings from the British era. The rice fields that surround it are also very beautiful, and the climate is a little cooler than some other parts of Myanmar. This makes Kalaw an ideal place to enjoy trekking. Kalaw to Inle Lake is a common path, however, there are also other trails around Kalaw.
Life in Kalaw is peaceful and calm, but there are still quite a lot of things to do. There’s a bustling market where you can buy some local goods including honey, tropical fruit, and even Myanmar wine! There are also many stunning temples and pagodas in and around Kalaw, including Thein Taung Monastery, that offers beautiful views, and the Shwe Oo Min Phaya Temple Cave. There’s also an ethical elephant sanctuary which is well worth a visit.
