Itinerary

8.30am: We cast off at Mandalay Jetty this morning for a half day tour to Mingun. The journey takes 1 hour boat ride on the mighty Irrawaddy river to get to Mingun. Upon arrival, we will visit the enormous Pahtodawgyi pagoda first – hand. This building could have been the biggest stupa in the world if King Bodawpaya won’t die. Hence, there was also a prophecy about the completion of the pagoda could lead to the death of the king, therefore, the construction was halted. You can see a big crack on the surface of the stupa due to a disastrous earthquake in the 1800’s.

Our trip continues to the beautiful Hsinbyume Paya (White Temple). The stupa has a unique design which follows the Sulamani Paya located on the top of Mount Meru – the center of the Buddhism cosmos. 

After that, we pay a visit to Mingun Bell – the second largest bell in the world that is still in a great condition. Before reboarding to return to Mandalay, we will have a chance to explore the basket making workshop in Mingun and interact with the locals.
