Explore temples and rubble of the earth
In Myanmar, there are some of the oldest temples and ruins in the world.

The best places to visit are the Bagan Temples, Ananda and Choisejon Paya. Most of them have been abandoned for many years.
Visit Mount Buba
This mountain is about an hour away from Bagan. It is 1500 meters high, and Buddhists are known to climb 777 degrees leading to the sanctuary to honour the curved characters they believe are their gods. This has been going on for over 700 years.
Visit the abandoned sanctuaries of Mrauk.
It was the capital of Rakhine State before the eighteenth century. To date, you will find temples and shrines scattered in the surrounding fields and hills. You can still see the remains of ancient cities and kingdoms around. It is interesting to know more about the life, culture and religion of the people who lived there, although it may seem that there has been no trace of experience in the area for centuries.
Climbing the highest mountain in Southeast Asia
Mount Hkakabo is the highest mountain at 5,881 meters above sea level. It is also a natural mountain to climb. While reaching the base of the hill can be a little tricky due to the rough terrain, many mountain lovers have had success stories to tell about their mountain experience.
