Overview of Tour
We will take you to day trip to Mount Popa, which supposedly rose from the ground in a massive earthquake in 442 BC. Popa Taunkalat Monastery sits atop a structure 777 steps from the top and is famous as the abode of the Nats (Spirit Gods) and for its view of the local tropical region, where you will find a 360 degree panorama and a labyrinth of shrines to explore.
The journey starts with Mount Popa, an extinct volcano. Rising out of the shimmering heat, Mt. Popa is home to Myanmar’s most powerful “Nats”. Visit the Nat Museum with its life-sized statues of the 37 Nat Gods. Walk up the steps to the Stupas and shrines that top the hill above the museum, seeing many pilgrims along the way. Lunch will be served at the Poppa Mountain Resort Resturant and take a breath in the changing scenery from the peak of Mount-Poppa areas.
The way by the roadside we will visit the locals climbing up the toddy palm tree and see how toddy palm juice and sugar are produced.Enjoy the scenery during your return to the Bagan, where return transport to your hotel awaits.
