Itinerary
Day 1
Yangon - Loikaw (By Flight)Transfer to airport for flight to LOIKAW.
Almost the half of the population in the Kayah country in the British colonial time became Christians, baptized by an Italian parish priest. Therefore it’s not unusual that churches and even a Catholic cathedral where build in even every village or town. The local Bishop Sontero of the cathedral will be proud being visited by western tourist; his blessing is certain. Moreover we see ourselves around in the small museum, visit a meditation center and a nunnery.
Enjoy panoramic and sunset view from THIRI-MINGALAR TAUNG KWAE ZEDI, a famous land mark of the area, perched high up on a limestone monolith which affords great views of Loikaw and the surrounding mountain ranges.
Overnight stay in Loikaw.

Loikaw - Kakku - Nyaung ShweBreakfast at hotel. Drive approximately 3 hours toward Shan State. Taunggyi to visit the countryside inhabited by the Pa-O people lie the lost ruins of Kakku, a pagoda encircled by dozens of small stupas.

Wander through the stupas which are decorated with fine stucco work and Buddha images - some in good repair, others not. Visit a Pa-O village and a large monastery on the way to Taunggyi.
