Shwe Taung Tang Guesthouse

Chin State


One of the few places to stay in Kanpetlet itself, Shwe Taung comes with three options: tiny, dismal rooms in the front-facing orange building; nicer ones with wood floors and hot-water bathrooms in the green annex around back; and a few small wooden bungalows with balconies and mountain views. It's directly across from the Maymyo Food Centre – a plus.
