Set close to India’s border in Myanmar’s Sagaing Region at the confluence of three rivers, the city of Kalaymo, best known as Kalay, serves as the gateway to Myanmar’s Chin State. The city boasts a fascinating religious and cultural mix of Buddhists and Christians, with countless Buddhist temples and over 600 churches. Visitors can look forward to swimming at Kyauk Ta Lone, a popular swimming area set in a beautiful valley, take in the stunning panoramic views on the mountain road into the Chin State, viewing the many traditional Burmese wooden houses lining the streets of the city and exploring the hilly surrounds dotted with ancient pagodas.
