What to expect
Pyin Oo Lwin's National Kandawgyi Gardens is the only botanical garden in Myanmar. It houses a big collection of different flowers and plants. As for its beauty, it is a popular spot for locals who come for recreation. Also, there are three museums: Fossils Museum, Petrified Wood Museum, and Butterfly Museum.
The building of the Maha Ant Htoo Kan Thar pagoda has a history of its own. Originally, three marble Buddha images, sculpted in Mandalay, were transferred to their planned destination in China. On this journey, one of the Buddha statues fell from the lorry and could not be reloaded due to its weight. After many attempts, this image was finally left behind. Here, a pagoda was built for the travelers to pay homage.
In the afternoon, visit the Pwe Kauk waterfalls, a popular sport for Myanmar families to come for a picnic. The waterfalls are not particularly high, so you can take a pleasant walk around.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
