Day 01
Here we visit the Pinmagon monastery housing famous Nee Paya (Bamboo Buddha Image) which was estimated to be built during Ava Period over 500 years ago. The Image is eight feet four inches high and noted for its longevity, its prevention of fire, and wish granting powers. Here we have the opportunity to interact with Buddhist monk over a cup of green tee. From here we trek along dirt road but beautiful surrounding to so-called View Point, located at 4750 feet above sea level (3.2mile, approx. 2 hour), from where we enjoy stunning view of the Shan plateau. Here we have lunch at view point and relax for some time enjoying the view. After lunch we head south-east and trek through scarf forests to the reservoir (1.8 mile, approx. 2 hour), which was originally built by British some 80 years ago and remain till today the major sources of fresh water supply to the town. Once we through the scarf forest we get into primary forests protected since British time. Here we enjoy tranquility of the surrounding and listen to the birds call and witness several species of orchid naturally hanging above the tree. We spend some time enjoying the nature and head back to Nanthe (Nepalese Village) (3 mile, approx. 2 hour). At first we walk through primary forest but once we come out of the forest then trek through fields chatting with local farmers. From here, we trek to get back to Kalaw.
