This is perhaps the best easy-access trek in Shan state. Starting at Pindaya we trek through remote tribal villages up the Yasakyi range dominated by the 1900m high Mt Yasakyi. Some of the trip highlights are visits to Yasakyi Palaung tribe village; the monastery and an overnight stay local-style under the countless stars and clear skies.          

 

Grading: Moderate. We trek mostly on small trails and paths. On first day there is a tough climb over the mountain range. The following days are less demanding.
