Hsipaw, easy trekking

Soon we will be in Hsipaw. We like to make a trek in the area, but we are not young enough to make long treks. Does anyone know of an easy trek, seeing some nice scenery of the country life with no more than 2 or 3 hour walking? Maybe combined with a boat trip.

A short walk from the town takes you to "Old Bagan". It's not really hiking but it's nice area to walk around.

We did a few days with a young lad called Joy near Hsipaw. All of his treks are tailor made. He's based in Kyaukme (which gives you the ride over the viaduct) but I recall him telling us that sometimes he works in Hsipaw.

He has a web-page here:
