Bagan
Country Side Tour - Full Day Excursion
Itinerary
Full day to explore the countryside around Bagan.
Drive out of Bagan to visit Mount Popa, home to Myanmar's intriguing 'nats' (spirits). The 777 steps and path climb steeply up Mount Popa – an energetic climb rewarded by fabulous views from the top.
Continue to drive to Kyaukpadaung and visit the local market.
Lunch at a simple local restaurant (or) a packed lunch.
In the afternoon, drive to Salay.
Visit Yokesone Monastery, which is the oldest surviving wooden monastery hall, built on 154 teak posts with beautiful wood carvings decorating the outer walls.
Continue to Payathonzu, a complex of three brick shrines with mural paintings from the Bagan period, and see Man Paya - a large lacquer Buddha image, said to date from the 13th century.
Return to Bagan through Chauk, where you will see old Burma Oil installations ('nodding donkeys'), and along the banks of the Ayeyarwady River.
