Depart from your hotel to Bago, located northwest of Yangon, the ancient city once the capital of the Mon Kingdom, where magnificent pagodas, vibrant markets, and rich cultural heritage await to be discovered. The journey may take about 2 hours, but don’t worry because Asia Private Travels will take care of everything from the comfortable seats to the air conditioning.
The first destination of our Yongon to Bago day tour will be the Kha Khat Wain Monastery, where the devoted presence of hundreds of monks creates a tranquil ambiance, offering a glimpse into the profound teachings of Buddha.
Leaving Kha Khat Monastery, we keep moving to explore Kyaik Pun Pagoda, adorned with four enormous Buddha statues facing in different directions, built by the Mon king 'Dhammazedi' in 1476 A.D.
One of the must-visit destinations of this quick tour must refer to local markets. In this tour, we will discover the vibrant Bago local market and admire the majestic Shwemawdaw Pagoda, the tallest pagoda in Myanmar, standing at 114 meters in height.
Our next activity will be marveling at the magnificent Shwethalyaung Buddha, one of Burma's largest reclining Buddha images dating back to the 9th century. Don’t forget to enjoy a stopover at Hin Thar Waddy Temple for a panoramic view of Bago and explore the nat shrines.
On our return journey to Yangon, we will have the chance to visit the Allied War Cemetery near Htaukkyan, paying tribute to over 27,000 fallen allied soldiers.
Arriving in Yangon, it’s time to finish our memorable Myanmar trip. Asia Private Travels hopes that you had a great time on this Baga tour!
