April 11, 2022 Augustus Redeker

While you’re in town, the Shwedagon Pagoda, an immense, ancient Buddhist shrine, is a must-see—TripAdvisor travelers recommend visiting at sunrise or sunset.

After the long time no travelling because of the pandemic, I was here for the second time ❤️ It still choose this tour cause the last time I was so impressed by everything. Vietnam’s nature is always amazed me, that’s why I choose VN to be my second home. I love spending time on the sampan boat visting Market’s Area, so crowded. The CuChi tunnel visit was interesting. The tour guide told us a lot about the history and the underground people here. Moveover, there is no word can describe how delicious Vietnamese food is... the food was made by local people so it different from other place but just so wonderful. I really highly recommend this trip to everyone! I even want to come back the third time ????

I should start by saying I have given a partial refund (about 1/3rd the price) as there was no guide provided even though it clearly states it in the inclusions. Visit to a village was omitted also. Kakku itself is amazing and worth a visit if you can spare the 2-2.5hr trek out there. In my opinion, you are much better off just booking a driver for about 60USD and paying a guide separately when you get to Inle Lake. My hotel helped me the day before for a hide around the lake and the guide cost 55USD. Communication from the tour operator has been really inconsistent

Kakku Pagoda is located about 65kms away from Nyang Shwe and is reachable by motorbike (it will take you about 1h45 to drive there). The drive itself is quite interesting and will make you cruise through the Burmese country side. Another option is to take a taxi to bring you there. Once you have reached the pagoda you will quickly realize how peaceful and quite it is. Here no big group of tourists, only a few locals who come to pray/visit the place. The place itself is fantastic! it gathers more than 2000 stupas each of them having a few belt attached to the top. This gives the place a very mystical and magical vib. Here not only your eyes will be amazed, you will also enjoy the mesmerising melody of the thousands belts changing rhythm with the wind. Highly recommanded for those who want to escape the crowd of Nyang Shwe and experience a "soul touching" place.
