        * Direct train all the way from Yangon is 3550K (lower class), a bit more for upper class. 26 hours journey including a ~5 hours stop in Thazi in the middle of the night, so passengers can rest a bit.

The first section Yangon-Thazi is extremely bumpy and uncomfortable, the landscape isn't especially interresting. The second part from Thazi to Kalaw is much nicer, mountainous, slow and dramatic.

The owners have two elephants there themselves. You can also choose to trek up to the camp. The idea to treat elephants ethically is slowing catching on in Myanmar, and this Camp is the best in the country, [url=http://www.saveelephant.org/green-hill-valley-responsible-elephant-tourism-myanmar/]according to owners[/url] of an elephant reserve in Thailand. You can walk with and bathe the elephants. Supporting tourist activities like these may encourage others to promote ethical treatment of elephants for tourism, rather than for simply entertainment.
