Burma Bhamo-River and Lakes (ဗန်းမော်မြို့)
Bhamo or Manmaw is a city in Kachin State, Northern Myanmar (Burma). It is on the bank of the Irrawaddy or Ayeyarwady river. It is just 65km from the chinese Yunnan border and it used to be trade station for which Jade was brought to China.Now it is a quiet town, with lots of activity along the river, with a morning market, some nice temples and peaceful lakes.In 2014 I took the river ferry up the Irrawaddy river from Mandalay to here, which took 3 days, but these ferries may be suspended.
Two days in Pyay, Myanmar
After leaving Yangon, I headed to Pyay, before going on to Bagan.
In this video you can see what I got up to during my two day visit in this small town in Southern Myanmar.
I had a really authentic experience with some locals, rode a bike until I'd sweated out my body weight, saw an amazing sunset and witnessed a very bizarre karaoke ritual....
Golden Buddhist Pagode sinks in river in Myanmar, Pakokku, Ayeyarwaddy River
Golden Pagode sinks in river in Myanmar,
In Pakokku, Myanmar, a Buddhist pagoda has disappeared in the Ayeyarwaddy River.
Shocked spectators saw the building slowly sink into the fast-flowing water and disappear under the water surface.
In the area it has been raining for a long time and therefore the water level in the river has risen sharply next to the pagoda. Probably the water has affected the foundation of the temple.

Welcome to PAKOKKU - Myanmar
Famed amongst travellers around Myanmar, Mya Mya is a fluent English speaker and runs her aptly named 'Mya Mya' guesthouse (Mya Yatanar Inn) in Pakokku; a small town near Bagan. We were fortunate enough to stay in her guest house for one night whilst in Myanmar. One night was probably enough to see the sites of Pakokku however it would have been great to have more time to listen to Mya Mya's stories and to see a town nearly untouched by Western tourism.
This short video shows some of the sites which we saw during our time to, in and from Pakokku. Shots include the longest bridge in Myanmar (Irrawaddy Bridge), Pakokku Market, local temples and time spent with the locals.

Bagan Temples in Bagan, Myanmar / Burma
The thousands of temples that are spread across the plains of Bagan are the most impressive testament to the religious devotion of Myanmar’s people – and rulers – over the centuries. They combine to form one of the richest archaeological sites in Asia and provide views quite unlike anywhere else on earth.
Whether you tour Myanmar by land, river cruise, hot air balloon, or trekking on your own two feet, the sites that may linger longest in your mind—not to mention your iPhone—are the temples of Bagan. From the golden domes of stupas to the cone-shaped pagodas with crowning ornamental towers, many of the shrines to Buddhism that you see today date back originally to the 4th century.
So where do you begin temple hopping in a country that once had 10,000 of them? The best place to start is the 26-mile plain of Bagan, also known as the Bagan Archaeological Zone.
Despite wars, invasions, and sackings, the Bagan landscape is dotted with some 2,000 of these ancient, sacred structures. Not surprising this region was and still is one of the most important Buddhist pilgrimage sites in Southeast Asia.
If time permits, start with an aerial view of the Bagan plain from a hot air balloon. It’s well worth the effort to rise early enough to see the magical sun rising over the many golden domes and spires. This drone-like view will give you a sense of the plain’s vastness. Book your balloon ride well in advance. The sky-high ride is extremely popular for Myanmar travelers, despite the cost of nearly $300 or more a person.
Next, put on your walking shoes and meander among the stupas, cave temples, and the pagoda towers. Then, to truly appreciate these marvels, choose three for a close-up, longer visit. (We suggest just three temples a day to avoid becoming numb to their beauty.) Take your time, and take it all in.
We’ve narrowed the array of temples to the following six. (If you have only a day, choose three from this list.) Save the best of the remaining 1,994 for future visits to Bagan.
1. Ananda Temple
Built in 1105, Ananda is one of the oldest temples and the largest, measuring 290 feet (a bit shorter than a football field) with pyramid-like terraces that reach 167 feet. Four towering golden Buddhas look out from the central cube in the four opposing directions. Doors of carved teak guard small Buddha statues in niches along the four entrance halls. Wall paintings, stone carvings, and elaborately decorated tiles cover each tier.
2. Kyanzittha Umin
This low, brick temple is built into a stone cliff near Shwesandaw Pagoda. It’s known for its fine frescos and paintings. No doubt some were created by the 12th century monks who lived there, but Mongol invaders in 1287 left their marks, too. You’ll notice paintings of Mongol nobles and warriors along the long, dark corridors. Although Kyanzittha Umin lies both within the cliff and outside, it is representative of Bagan’s characteristic cave temples.
3. Shwesandaw Pagoda
The bell-shaped stupa of sits on five receding terraces and towers 328 feet above the Bagan plain, making it even more imposing than the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon.King Anawrahta, founder of the Bagan Kingdom, built the pagoda in 1057. Like most pagodas, this contains a religious relic—a hair of the Buddha—that was a gift to the King. Shwesandaw is sometimes called the Ganesh Pagoda for the stone statues of the Hindu elephant god, Ganesh that once guarded it.
4. Thatbyinnyu Pahto
Built in 1150, the tall spire atop the temple make it the tallest in Bagan. Climb up the three receding terraces 200 feet to see the Bagan plain in all directions. More than 500 depictions of the Jatakas (stories of the Buddha’s life) decorate Thatbyinnyu’s walls; and the intricate, tightly sealed brickwork is a temple hallmark.
5. Htilominlo Pahto
Built in 1218, it marks the spot where King Htilominlo was chosen to be the crown prince. Four large, golden Buddhas are ensconced on the upper floors of the massive 150-foot high structure, and the temple is topped with an ornamental spire from India. Some wall paintings, carved reliefs, and intricate plaster carvings that once covered the brick structure have survived earthquakes. Try to see it again from a distance at sunrise.
6. Gubyaukgyi Temple (Myinkaba)
In nearby Myinkaba is one of several of the region’s cave temples, built in the 12th century, around the time of the Ananda Temple and most others in Bagan. Like Ananda, Indian-style architecture predominates. What’s different, though, are the straight walls that distinguish it from most other monuments. Strategically placed windows light the inner walls and ceiling with sunlight. Many of these windows contain depictions of the Jatakas, stories of the Buddha’s former lives.

Thi Ho Shin Pagoda in Pakokku,Magwe,central Myanmar
The Thi-ho Shin Pagoda
The Thi-ho Shin is one of the most famous pagodas in Pakokku. It was built by King Alaungsithu. The pagoda contains an image presented by the King of Ceylon some 800 years ago and the image is one of the most revered in Myanmar. The festival of the Thiho Shin Pagoda is held from 8th waxing to the 10th waning day of Nayon (June), with traditional plays and zat pwes (although not, for the last few years, puppet shows). Lacal specialities such as thanakha logs. Jaggery, a-nyar longyis and checked cotton and wool blankets are sold in the festival. This is a typical a-nyar (Upper Myanmar) festival

Pakokku Bridge
The much awaited opening of the river crossing bridge at Pakokku spanning Irrawaddy River in Myanmar creating a part of India-Myanmar-Thai tripartite highway project has been reported to be officially open to the public at the end of the year 2011.
The Pakokku Irrawaddy river crossing bridge has 3.4 kilometers long with 4 kilometer motorway and 6.17 kilometer railroad. This was built by Myanmar's Public Works under the supervision of the Construction Ministry.
The tripartite highway project of India, Myanmar and Thailand connects various regions like Letpanchepaw in Bagan Nyaung Oo, Mandalay region, on the east bank of the river and Pakokku, Magway region, on the west bank. This project is intended to have an easy way to Kalewa and Tamu bordering India via Myawaddy in Kayin state connecting Thailand.
Buddhist Beauty of Myanmar Tour Past & Present! 11 Day ,10 Night
Day 1: Bagan – A Famous Sunset Welcome to Myanmar
Bagan can be a baffling sight. From the hotel rooftop, gaze across the plains admiring dozens of pagodas as they rise above hues of red and green. There are far too many to count with sculpted sandstone pinnacles rising at every angle. In total, enjoy over 2,200 temples and pagodas, the results of a building boom dating from the 9th to 12th centuries.
Day 3: Bagan – Hot Air Ballooning Above 2,300 Temples
Bagan's scale is only truly understood from the air. With an aerial vantage point watch how the landscape unfolds, temples and pagodas rising everywhere. Nowhere is empty, always another cluster of stupas or sandstone between the trees. Bagan is mostly uninhabited, other than two villages on the outskirts of the historical site. What you see is not a series of temples amongst other buildings; it's monuments that rise unopposed.
Day 4: Pakkoku to Monywa – Serene Travel Along the Mighty Irrawaddy
The Irrawaddy has always connected life in Myanmar, and the meandering river continues to command the heart of the country. Slowly pass tiny villages on a river cruise, wave to children splashing in the shallows and appreciate the odd assortment of stilt houses. Stop in Pakkoku and explore the markets, local places filled with resonance and intriguing locals.
Day 5: Hpo Win Daung to Mandalay – Murals and Buddha Statues Along the Chindwin River
Cross the Chindwin River, women washing clothes along the banks and the waters filled with fishing boats. On route to Mandalay, stop at Hpo Win Daung where a labyrinth of sandstone caves have evolved as an ode to Buddha. Hundreds of thousands of Buddha images are hidden here, some tiny wooden carvings, others fine mural paintings, and then those that rise high with sculpted elegance.
Day 6: Mandalay – Exploring Buddhism in Working Monasteries
Ancient capitals dot the landscape around Mandalay, remains of empires capturing the rich history of Myanmar from the time before the country was renamed Burma by the British. At Amarapura, walk across the two-century-old U Bein Bridge made solely from teak and stretching nearly a mile across the lake. More than 1500 Buddhist monks gather at Mahagandaryon Monastery, their monotone robes matching a simple yet evocative building.
Day 7: Mandalay – Day Trip Along the River to Mingun
An early rise unveils a hypnotic scene--a procession of monks walking through the streets and talking alms, receiving gifts of food from locals who share everything they have. Then it's back on the river, along the waterway into the region of Mingun. Treasures dapple the landscape like a faded tapestry, each an ode to aspiration and the dreams of old empires.
Day 8: Pindaya to Inle Lake – Through Shan Hills to the Pindaya Caves
Shan State is populated with ethnic tribes that have always been different from the ruling Burmese. They live amongst vibrant rice paddies and thick jungle, a green landscape that hides lifestyles unchanged for centuries. Uniting these tribes is Buddhism, a single religion that has brought so many cultures peacefully together.
Day 9: Inle Lake – Stilt Villages and Local Life Along the Lake
Many Inle villages rise on stilts, each house surrounded by water and every journey made by boat rather than two feet. Cruising throughout, you are immersed in mystique, waterways carved between bamboo villages. Fruits and vegetables are grown in floating gardens while fishermen row with their legs. Boats are the only way to get around, even for those going to meditate.
Day 10: Yangon – Golden Temples of the Colonial City
It's a direct flight to Yangon, where you have a day amongst the juxtaposition of styles. The city presents the most complete and untouched colonial center in Asia, most architecture dating to the early 20th century. Some of it has been restored, like the delightful Strand Hotel, your five-star accommodation for the night.
Day 11: Yangon – Departure
Myanmar is increasingly connected to the world as a range of intercontinental flights are now possible from Yangon. Today you depart the country, your guide transferring you to the airport after breakfast.
Things to See On and Around Mandalay Hill
The area of Mandalay Hill is a favourite pilgrimage site for Myanmar’s Buddhist devotees and has one of Mandalay’s richest concentrations of Buddhist sites.

The Temples of Bagan Myanmar
MYANMAR: The Temples of BAGAN: A slide show based on pictures taken by Pepe Forte in the spectacular Valley of Temples, in Old Bagan, Myanmar (former Burma), in December 2015. #Bagan #TemplesofBagan #OldBagan #Myanmar #travel #bagan
Touring the Temples of Bagan, Myanmar
Bagan is home to thousands of temples and one my first day in town I started with the Shwezigon Pagoda. Many of Myanmar's pagodas are modeled after this one.
MYANMAR (BURMA) visit to Sagaing hill and market
From our hotel in Mandalay we visited the local market and hill pagoda U Min Thonze.
The city is the capital of the Sagaing Region of Myanmar. It is located in the Irrawaddy River, 20 km (12 mi) to the south-west of Mandalay on the opposite bank of the river. Sagaing with numerous Buddhist monasteries is an important religious and monastic center. The pagodas and monasteries crowd the numerous hills along the ridge running parallel to the river. The central pagoda, Soon U Ponya Shin Pagoda, is connected by a set of covered staircases that run up the 240 m (790 ft) hill.
