Just an hour’s drive from the ancient temples of Bagan, Mount Popa is a unique change of scenery. It’s an extinct volcano that rises out of the flat plains like a green island, famous for its lively monkeys and its role as the center of Myanmar’s "Nat" (spirit) worship. This is a relaxed, private trip for those who want to see a different side of local life and enjoy some great views.
