Having the full experience of Myanmar in the best way.
Mingalaba! Today, start your Bagan tour with a drive from Bagan to Salay lasting for about one hour and a half. The highlight of Salay, the colorful old religious center in Central Myanmar is the diversity of monasteries.
It is easy to recognize that the most outstanding one is Yoke Sone monastery with spectacular woodcarving and Buddhist image, which partly reflects the main religion here, Buddhism. We also pay a visit to a local market in order to get an insight into Myanmar daily life and customs.
This journey will not be completed without a visit to Mount Popa, which is 45 kilometers to the East of Salay. With the height of 4981 feet above the sea level, Mount Popa is a unique extinct volcano with a spectacular view.
Your strength will be improved after finishing 777 steps leading to the top of Popa Peak where a Buddhist Shrine is situated. Moreover, in the surrounding, there are monasteries, pagodas, and shrines in different size and shape. The best moment is when you are at the highest point in the area, a panoramic view is opened right before your eyes and leave you with admiration and impression.
In the mid-afternoon back to Bagan and you will explore Bagan from a different perspective by car and guide. Watch the sunset from the Temple. Transfer to your hotel.
Trip ends! Thank you for your choosing us!

Le guide, Jai, au delà d être très sympathique, parlait extrêmement bien anglais. Ceci a permis d'avoir de véritables échange et de mieux comprendre la culture laotienne, la forêt. Nous avons vraiment eu une expérience en immersion, dormir dans un village, cuisiner et manger dans la jungle. Nous sommes parties ravies de cette expérience dans la région. Merci !read less

The first day was amazing with a moderate half day walk ending up at the waterfall which was a great way to cool off and relax (and take amazing photos). Our tour guide was great, very knowledgeable and accommodating of our needs. Regrettably we had to cancel our 2nd day due to us needing to fly home ASAP because of imminent border closures for the COVID-19 pandemic. We politely asked the manager (Phai) for a refund and he was very understanding even though we knew it was a tough time for them. They couldn't refund our 2nd day on the spot but they promised to put it through on the following Monday when they went to the bank. We were pleased and grateful that they lived up to their promise to do it, so I want to say they are an honest and ethical operator. Thank you!read less
