Itinerary

Shwemawdaw Paya

2 hours

You get picked up at your hotel in Yangon to visit the former capital of Bago by train. The pleasant train ride takes around 2 hours and gives you a glimpse of the beauty of the countryside.

The first sight you visit is the Shwemawdaw Pagoda, often referred to as the "Golden God Temple". This pagoda is the tallest pagoda in the, although the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon receives those credits.
Shwethalyaung Buddha

30 min

Continue to the Shwethalyaung Pagoda, a reclining Buddha, which has a length of 55 meters. Myanmar people say about the Buddha image, that it represents Buddha in a 'relaxing' mode.
Kambazathadi Golden Palace

one hour Admission not included

After that, visit the Kanbawzathadi Palace, built for King Bayinnaung in 1556. The palace was rebuilt following the original design, based on knowledge gained from excavations and the original drawings of the building. There are several reproductions on display, like a replica of the King’s golden coach.
Kyaik Pun Pagoda

45 min

Next stop of the tour is the Kyaikpun Pagoda on the way back to Yangon. There is a small Buddhist monastery, known for its four towering images of the Buddha, often visible from far distance. The images, facing each others back, represent the four Buddhas that have reached Nirvana.
Stop 5

3 hours

On the way back to Yangon, you stop by the Taukkyan War Cemetery, a monument for allied soldiers from the British Commonwealth who died in battle in Burma during the Second World War.
