On the edge of the Shan Plateau is the town of Kalaw (pop. 70,000),
which at some 4,300 feet (1,316 m) above sea level is the highest community
along the overland route from the plains into the Lake Inle region.
The town was once a British hill station, very popular with both colonial
administrators and the Christian missionaries who came here to convert
the various mountain tribes to the “true faith”, British-style
bungalows with well-tended gardens.
Interesting places in Kalaw: Theindaung, mountain peoples (Tayaw,
Palaung, Danu, Pa-O, Taungyoe), Aungban
