Mount Popa Monastery

Mount Popa is close to the village of Kyauk Padaung, in the national park that has its name and 50 km from Bagan. Mount Popa has a monastery that takes the place of an extinct volcano. We got there on a day trip from Bagan. The best is the light of the mountain, with its monastery crowning the top. It is one of the places that is most visited by tourists and Myanmar. The rise is amazing, barefoot, surrounded by the people that are of ethnic nationalities and monkeys that are of surprising audacity, used to being fed, so you have to be very careful. Once up , the monastery is not great, it is no wonder, but it has wonderful views of the surrounding areas.

Traveling in the beautiful country of Myanmar, which is 50 kilometers away from the city of Bagan, I found this dormant volcano called Mount Popa. At the top there's a monastery. I was able to take this photo from a lookout point where I could see this beautiful landscape.
