On the third day of the Bagan tour, you'll be starting off with breakfast at 8:30 a.m.
Afterward, you'll be heading to Taung Kalat, which is a Buddhist monastery situated on Mount Popa, an extinct volcano that reaches 1518 meters in height. Mount Popa has always been an important part of Myanmar's culture, religion, and history. The shrine located on the mountain is dedicated to the worship of the 37 Nats, which are the ancient animist spirits of Myanmar.
While you climb the stairs to the mountain's peak with Asia Private Travels’ local guide, you'll also have the opportunity to learn about nats and nat worship. The view from the top of the volcanic mountain is breathtaking and overlooks the Mying.
Next, we'll head back to Bagan with a one-hour ride. Along the way, we'll make a stop at a nearby town where you can witness the fascinating process of producing wine and molasses from palm tree fruits.
After that, we can take you to your hotel in Bagan for some rest or to the airport for your departure. It’s the end of your Bagan Private Tour.
