Built in numerous styles, a number of the stupas are simple in design whilst others are richly decorated and covered in deities. Legends refer to the creation of Kakku by Buddhist missionaries, dating back in the 3rd century and combine both simple and well-adorned stupas. Restoration of the complex commenced years ago to maintain this awe-inspiring scene outside Inle Lake.

If you have limited time, this is a great day trip (around 13 hours) from Yangon, taking in some of the most important Buddhist sites in the area, and allowing you to see the lush landscapes of Myanmar. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and our driver was very efficient at dropping us off and picking us up from various locations. All attraction entry prices, water and food are included. The company, Colors of Myanmar, was also very obliging, helping us to change the date of our tour when we couldn't make it on the day we had originally planned. Highly recommended!

I am playing catch up as I haven't been here in quite a while,In 2016/2017 my partner and I travelled to Myanmar having a 3 week custom private tour. The Team at Tour East were excellent, Not only did everything go as planned the guides provided in each area were extremely knowledgeable and made suggestions re our itinerary to compliment what was already planned. Balloons over Bagan was probably a highlight however the while trip over something for all the senses and the people we met were wonderful.

Just returned from the most amazing 2 week holiday arranged by Aung at E Travel Myanmar! Our first week was sightseeing in Bagan, Mandalay, Inle Lake, Yangon and second week relaxing on the beautiful beaches in Ngapali where we ate fresh fish and seafood on the beach at very reasonable prices! Our accommodation was of a very high standard and all flights and transfers ran smoothly! Our guides were all lovely and very knowledgable and nothing was too much trouble. I would totally recommend this company as I have done to friends and family. Do not miss the balloon ride over Bagan it was stunning!
