Walk to the market in the early morning and buy all the provision for your three-day trek. Start with a walk through the hills for one hour to Htut Ni, village of the Danu tribe. You will pass through hillside farms where the Danu cultivate cheroot, tea, damsons and mangoes. The track crosses the valley floor before climbing very steeply again (approximately three hours) to another Danu village, named See Kya Inn, where we will stop for a simple lunch. Walk another two hours to Yasakyi, another Danu village. In the afternoon, observe tribal village life and how the Palaung people dry cheroots in a specially designed oven. Simple dinner and accommodation at Yasakyi Monastery.

Day 3 – Kan Hla Kone-Pindaya (3.5 hours)
Enjoy a simple breakfast before walking one hour to Htin Shuee Kone and an additional 1.5 hours to Taung Paw Gyi, where they produce Shan tea in the traditional way. You will see the drying of the tealeaves and pass through the tea plantations. From the hills you will get great views of the surrounding Shan plateau. Return to Pindaya, a one hour walk, where you can visit the caves or the town. Arrive at your hotel.
