Sadan Cave

Reviewed By pikshanh

it's absolutely worth to go, the cave is very big and small rivers inside, children will like it very much, an interesting adventure in the cave, with lots of bats inside, when you come out from the cave, there is a really beautiful view outside and you can take boat trip to enjoy the view of entire lake. it's so beautiful and it's good that the boat will bring you back to the main entrance at your beginning point.

Kyauk Ka Lat Pagoda

Reviewed By MartinGleerup - Copenhagen, Denmark

We went there at the end of the day after Sadan Cave. And it was perfect timing. It's a very little pagoda but nice to visit.

Kawgun Cave

Reviewed By Nomadsat

Buddhas carved in the thousands into the rock faces. Unbelievable how many and how high up and how symmetrically they are placed. I am not sure how many is too many and neither are they.

This is quite an open cave and easy access. The Buddhas are all different and very attractively placed. This is a lovely place to visit.

Mount Zwegabin

Reviewed By jajavalB - Lampang, Thailand

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.

Bayin Nyi Caves

Reviewed By Nomadsat

Another amazing hillside Pagoda that extends into caves and has lovely rural views across the rice fields. Some crazy characters have statues here and health and safety is not included in all areas.

Bat Cave

Reviewed By elimikhael - Jakarta, Indonesia

Make sure to visit at sunset and ask the locals for what time the bats are supposed to come out. Be prepared for an amazing endless stream of bats - occasionally locals or dogs will make noises that cause the departing bats to fluctuate - truly a fantastic experience.
