Cave of Saddar

A spectacular cave in Hpa An, in Kayin State, southeast of Myanmar. Crossing the great cave you reach a small lake that is divided into two zones. In the lake are local fishermen who sleep here as well, in hammocks hanging from the ceilings of the cave. It is a unique experience. A stunning blend of the beauty of the golden stupas and Buddhist images against the natural geology. The noise of the bats is like thunder in the darkest part of the cave. You must carry a flashlight and ask if there are any monks that can guide you to the lake, because you may get lost and not find it. This is without

Doubt one of the most unique and beautiful experiences to be had in this area.

Cathedral to bat

Cathédrale pour chauve-souris

Excellent
Prévoyez une lampe torche pour traverser cette grotte de près d'1km si grande qu'elle pourrait contenir plusieurs cathédrales (au passage il y a très peu de bouddhas si ce n'est à l'entrée, chose rare en Birmanie). Des milliers de chauve-souris y attendent la nuit pour pouvoir sortir. A la sortie justement, une très bonne surprise, celle de voir cet étang pour moitié entouré de collines de pierre. Possibilité de faire un tour en barque en hélant un pêcheur s'il y a et passer sous l'une des dites collines. La combinaison des grottes et de l'étang est magique !
Include a flashlight to get through this cave near 1km so great that it could contain several cathedrals (by the way there is very little Buddhas except at the entrance, which is rare in Burma). Thousands of bats are waiting for the night to get out. At the exit just a very pleasant surprise to see that half the pond surrounded by rocky hills. Opportunity to make a boat tour hailing a fisherman and go under if one of said hills. The combination of caves and the pond is magical!
