Mingun- one of a must-see historical sites when you come to Mandalay is Mingun, north west Myanmar, located on the west bank from Mandalay. Explore the cultural heritage of this ancient capital that had a history of over 200 year. You will find attractive temples, ruins and palaces and enjoy an enchanting boat trip with spectacular view of Irrawaddy River on the way to Mingun.
Today your guide and driver will greet you at your hotel in Mandalay. After hotel pickup, your vehicle makes the journey to Mandalay Jetty. Embark on a boat trip up to the riverside village of Mingun. You will enjoy the picturesque scenery of the Irrawaddy river and lifestyle of the local people who live and work on these waters. On arrival, set out on foot with your knowledgeable guide who leads you to notable Mingun Pahtodawgyi, which is an unfinished pagoda that was being constructed in the 1970s. Travelers are welcome to climb the unfinished building and although there is obviously little to see in the rock itself,there are stunning views of the region and the impressive Mya Theindan pagoda below to be had. Next, we on to the Mingun Bell, the world largest ringing bell which weighs more than 90 tonnes (90,718kg). You can step inside for a closer look or take photos. Mingun’s other highlight is the Mya Theindan Pagoda. It is an easy climb to get there and from there you get a great view.
Travel back to your Mandalay hotel to relax after a truly memorable day in Mingun.
