Not only is Katha a very pleasant town to visit, it is also the place where George Orwell based his novel Burmese Days.
As is often the case, getting there was half the fun. I nearly missed the train in Mandalay, had to run hard to be able to jump in the last wagon, and since I could not reach the rest of the train from there, I then had to jump out of the moving train, run faster and jump in the next wagon. Anyway, a long ride later, in the middle of the night, we stopped at Naba, and had to wait several hours for the first train to Katha. In a cattle wagon, we reached the town that became famous as Kyauktada in Orwell's novel Burmese Days.
