Bago Day Trip

Bago, also known as Pegu, was the capital of the Mon Kingdom in the 15th century. This morning, you will be picked up by our driver and tour guide at the hotel to depart for Bago. The first stop of the trip is the 55-metre long reclining Shwethalyaung Buddha, the four seated Buddhas at Kyaikpun and the old palace of Kambozathadi. 
After that, we explore the Mon-style Shwemawdaw Pagoda, the most outstanding religious monument in Bago. This golden religious site stands at 114 metres tall, higher than Yangon’s Shwedagon Pagoda, and can be seen from around 10 km outside of the city. 

Our driver then will take you to the Snake Monastery is a pilgrimage site to see the 9 meter, and reportedly century old, Burmese Python. The monastery is devoted to a Buddhist abbot who was reborn as a python. After lunch, we visit a local market to see the typical Bago`s textile then head back to Yangon.
