Only few people have stepped foot into the undiscovered mountains of Indawgyi Lake. Over the decades, the accessibility to the forests around Indawgyi was limited due to conflict, and land mines still impede a trek into the western mountains. Nevertheless the accessible mountain ranges offer stunning viewpoints, hidden monasteries, and spectacular water falls. Your trekking experience can be specifically tailored for you, and can either focus on nature and wildlife, or further include exciting village and cultural experiences. The degree of difficulty and the duration of the treks vary from easy half day trips to full day treks reaching deeper into primary forests to catch a glimpse of Indawgyi’s wildlife.
Our top selling trip to Shwe Taung combines nature, culture and village experiences on a very easy but stunning trek. On the way to the small farmer village of Ton San Hka you will pass famous religious sites, a forest that is home to several gibbon and hornbill groups, a stunning view point overlooking the entire lake, and the most beautiful rural scenery of Indawgyi. The local community will serve you a delicious lunch which is exclusively prepared with local organic ingredients. Indawgyi’s mountains still keep various secrets and the current road improvements will soon allow to discover them.
