Breakfast at the hotel. Drive to Mt. Popa - an extinct
volcano at 65km south east of Bagan in the plain region of middle
Myanmar and as the one of National parks in Myanmar with preserved
forest. It serves as a small oasis in the hot, dry plain of Myanmar.
The popularity of Mt. Popa today lies in the interest of religious
and mystical beliefs as an abode of spirits, “Nats”. Climb the
Taungkalat – believed to be the part of the main volcano blown
apart and plugged at the current location. On the way back to Bagan
we would visit the toddy palm producing local home cottage.
