Hiking Myanmar's Northern Shan State - Palaung & Shan Villages
Hiking off the beaten path with Myanmar Adventure Outfitters (MAO) up a mountain to remote Palaung villages and down the valley to Shan villages, surrounded by rice paddy fields.
Northern Shan State (near the town of Lashio) is seldom visited by tourists, but is a great way to authentically see how some of Myanmar's ethnic groups live. We also had a homestay in a Shan village, which was back to basics.
This was Day 1 of a 3-day outdoor trip with Myanmar Adventure Outfitters (MAO) at the end of December 2018.

Hsipaw Trekking at Northern Shan State of Myanmar ;
You may understand, a trek could be about nature and views of the wilderness ...
But in this case, it was more about seeing the life that operated within it …
Locals could seem remote and exotic at the best of times but it was amplified out here ...
Lives have pretty much been led this way for generations, regardless of who was in charge of the country …
It was unique, it was beautiful in its simplicity, and it was here for you to see and appreciate …

EPIC Wild River Trekking Myanmar's Northern Shan State
Adventure truly off the beaten path with Myanmar Adventure Outfitters (MAO) trekking/floating in a roaring wild river near Lashio. I've done river trekking before but not quite like this where few have gone before, and it was a fun physical challenge to explore this river.
Northern Shan State (near the town of Lashio in Myanmar) is seldom visited by foreign travellers, but has some fantastic unspoiled nature. If you have a sense of adventure then this is definitely for you, and Myanmar is one of the most amazing countries to travel in. Well worth making the effort to get there.
Have an epic train journey over the Gokteik Viaduct to get to Lashio while you're at it:
This was Day 2 of a 3-day outdoor trip with Myanmar Adventure Outfitters (MAO) at the end of December 2018.
Day 1 - Hiking to remote Palaung & Shan villages: Watch now ????
Day 3 - Mountain biking and Dark Horse Falls: COMING ???? on 13 April 2019

Visiting the Shan Palace Plus a Shan Princess (Hsipaw, Myanmar)
The Sawbwas of Hsipaw lived in the Hao Sao Pha / Shan Palace / ဟော်နန်း at the northern end of Hsipaw. The last Sawbwa or Prince (Sao Kya Seng) disappeared during the military coup in 1962 and the palace is cared for by his nephew, 'Mr. Donald' (Sao Oo Kya), and his nephew's wife - who is now the host for late afternoon visitors. She tells visitors the story of the Shan State over the last 50 years, explaining specifically the history of the last sawbwa and their family (NOTE: The audio might be hard to hear w/o headphones given the background noise and I was at a distance).
Its also recommended to check out the memoirs of the last Sabwa's Austrian wife, Inge Sargent, called Twilight over Burma: My Life as a Shan Princess. It's a moving personal account of her life in Burma up till her husband's disappearance.
Walking/Biking Around Hsipaw / သီပေါ / သီႇပေႃႉ
Hsipaw / သီပေါ / သီႇပေႃ, also known as Thibaw, is the principal town of Hsipaw Township in Shan State, Myanmar on the banks of the Duthawadi River. It is 200 km (124 mi) north-east of Mandalay. Hsipaw State was perhaps one of the most well known and powerful saopha Shan States and the Sawbwas of Hsipaw lived in the Shan Palace at the northern end of the town.
Every day, a train makes it laborious way up from Mandalay, via steep hills and a breathtaking gorge, to Hsipaw (and onward to Lashio). One of the 'must do' railway journeys of the world, the railway line between Pyin u Lwin and Hsipaw is a masterpiece of British engineering, designed primarily to bring trade (and thus control) to the Northern Shan State, an important ally of the British after the conquest of Upper Burma.
The train from Mandalay to Hsipaw takes 11 hours and costs less that 2000Ky or 4000Ky First Class, if you buy in the train station.The train leave at 4am. The journey from Pyin oo Lwin to Hsipaw takes seven hours and costs Kyat 2750 First Class (Upper Class) or Kyat 1200 Second Class (Ordinary Class). Many travelers do the Pyin oo Lwin (Maymyo) to Hsipaw section one way and return by road (7 hours by train, 4 hours by road). Lashio is four hours from Hsipaw by train. The train from Hsipaw to Mandalay (and Pyin Oo Lwin) leaves at 09:40 and arrives in Mandalay at 22:40 (to Pyin Oo Lwin at around 16:00).

Trekking in the jungle - Shan State - Myanmar
Novembre 2017 - Dopo una notte di forti temporali trascorsa nella giungla dentro una casa costruita sopra un albero, decidiamo di tornare a Hsipaw. Il trekking dura circa 7 ore (soltanto 2 ore documentate in questo video) sotto una pioggia intensa e senza seguire un sentiero ben definito. Non sono mancati momenti di tensione ma anche di grande affiatamento. Avventura indimenticabile!

Description
Myanmar ( Burma ) best Trekking around Kalaw, SAM FAMILY GUIDE SERVICE !
Shan State is a state of Burma (Myanmar). Shan State borders China to the north, Laos to the east, and Thailand to the south, and five administrative divisions of Burma in the west. Largest of the 14 administrative divisions by land area, Shan State covers 155,800 km², almost a quarter of the total area of Burma. The state gets its name from the Shan people, one of several ethnic groups that inhabit the area. Shan State is largely rural, with only three cities of significant size: Lashio, Kengtung, and the capital, Taunggyi.
Der Shan-Staat ist eine der vierzehn Verwaltungseinheiten in Myanmar. Es ist die größte dieser Verwaltungseinheiten und umfasst annähernd ein Viertel der Gesamtfläche des Landes.
Der Shan-Staat grenzt im Norden an China, im Osten an Laos und im Süden an Thailand. Die Westgrenze bilden die myanmarischen Mandalay- und Sagaing-Divisions, nordwestlich schließt sich der Kachin-Staat sowie im Südwesten der Kayah- und der Kayin-Staat an. Der überwiegende Teil des Shan-Staats ist bergiges Gelände. Im Norden und Süden gibt es höhere Berge. Der Staat wird ungefähr in der Hälfte vom von Nord nach Süd fließenden Saluen (Thanlwin) geteilt.
