About 40km north of Aungban is the town of Pindaya, noted for its extensive mimestone caves and picturesque Pontaloke Lake. The scenic Aungban-Pindaya road passes through the Pa-O and Danu villages of Pwehla and Ji-Chanzi. There are fields of dry-cultivated mountain rice along the way and potato fields where the tuber is grown in red mud mounds.

Pindaya itself is a centre for the Myanmar speaking Taung-Yo people. Local handicrafts include Shan paper and parasols made from mulberry bark. The town’s symbol is a Spider. According to legend, seven princesses bathing in the lake took refuge in the caves during a storm where they were imprisoned by a giant spider.

It is possible to begin short treks to surrounding Dany, Pa-O, Palaung and Taung-yo villages.
