After a delicious breakfast, you will get the chance to take a scenic drive to Kalaw via the Mount Popa.

You will then drive to Mount Popa, the flower mountain.
Mount Popa is an extinct volcano at 1,520 m above sea level. It became the spiritual home of the colourful ‘nat’ (pre-Buddhist). The main attraction is not the monastery of Mount Popa itself (with more than 800 steps under the sun, only a few tourists have the courage to climb up), it is the small museum devoted to the Nats.
But, if you have the courage to the mount your reward will be the superb view of the surrounding Burmese countryside!
