1. Taung Wine Mountain

We decided not to get up early and headed for Taung Wine Mountain at around 10am. There was heavy mist at the town proper so we weren't sure if going up the mountain would be worth it (mist means no views but probably an ethereal feel, at least). Anyway, we drove a car, followed google maps which turns out to have given us wrong directions (didn't read prior TA reviews, mea culpa!). Anyway, we headed out to proceed as most blogs advised but a few meters out from where google directed us, we saw a sign in Burmese and English that just said "Taung Wyne Pagoda" and an arrow. We followed the road (dirt road, so it was really shaky for our sedan) and a saw a few more signs now all in just Burmese. We stopped by some of the very few shops along the road to just say "Taung Wine Pagoda?" and were just directed to follow the road. We got there eventually around half past 11am. Hiked up with a few bottles of water (never forget!), saw for ourselves a really fantastic view. We didn't mind the heat much as there was plenty of shade from the trees along the trail. But as we were able to reach the summit at around 12:30pm, the floor of the pagoda was so hot, I could not step into it and had to wait for my partner in crime to take his photos from around. It is advisable to use your trainers and just remove these as you go up the metal stairs to the pagoda.

Going to Mount Victoria may be quite troublesome. But.....I assure you that you will find the meaning of paradise on this mount. You can get onto the mount by hiking or vehicle...it depends on your choices.

Traveling from Pindaya on a bike trip we passed this mountain. Very very impressed and worth stopping at. When traveling in Myanmar it is sometimes easy to get tired of looking at religious sites. This one is worth it.

We went to this attraction on Makhabucha day ,full moon of march,where buddhist people aggregates for making merits to lord of buddha ,and making vegetarian food for free to public.it takes about 2 hours climbing upto Zwegabin pagoda on the top of the mountain with steep steps and, sometimes rocks climbing. It's very hot on daytime .Most people climb at night to avoid heat of the day and stay overnight upthere.there are food shacks on the way upto the summit so you can buy drinks, snacks, and there is restaurant upthere where you can eat traditional karen food.there are also 1126 sitting buddha statues along the plain at the foot of the mountain.it worths 3 dollars admission fee to explore this attraction but you need at least 4 hours to climb up and down and spend ritual time during day of full moon of March.

This extinct volcano contains the shrine of the Mahagiri Nat spirits.
Reviewed By 968marijed - Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Before climbing it, the rock seems higher than it is. If you go up, make sure to bring about 5-7 small notes (500 kyat) to tip the people that clean the stairs on the way. The temple is not super impressive but the view is amazing.
6. Mt.Popa Extinct Volcano
