Shwe Oo Min Paya is in Kalaw, while Pindaya Cave is a popular pilgrimage destination a bit farther outside of town, with 8,000 statues of Buddha that date back as far as the 18th century. To see some local wildlife, travel by car about an hour north of Kalaw Heritage Hill to the Green Valley Elephant Camp, where visitors are welcome to interact with retired elephants.
