Bagan – Mount Popa – Bagan (Nyaung-U local market)

Breakfast in the hotel.

In the morning we will visit the colorful and interesting local market of Nyaung-U, where we will feel closely the local life of the people of Myanmar. At the end, we will leave by road in the direction of Mount Popa (1 hour and a half approx.), An ancient extinct volcano on whose summit is the Kalat Taunk Temple dedicated to the animist spirits. We will see the activity of the Burmese people who visit the sanctuary (the climb is optional, since its 777 steps not very clean and full of monkeys make it very hard and uncomfortable, especially in the rainy season).

Return to Bagan. On the way back to Bagan, we will stop at a palm plantation where we will learn about the process of making sugar and palm marc. Finally, we will go to the jetty to get on a small boat that will give us a walk along the Ayeyarwaddy River, from where we will see the sunset.

Transfer to the hotel.
