Yangon - Twante Day Trip

In the morning, Our Company’s guide will pick you up at the lobby and take a short walk to the river to catch 10-minute public ferry ride on the Twante Canal provides an excellent opportunity to glimpse daily life on the water. You might see small wooden boats where fishermen haul in their catches, larger boats transporting cargo to the city and kids playing in riverside villages.
When you disembark, take either a private taxi through the countryside to the town of Twante, which is known for its pottery. Stop by local artisans' workshops to see their crafts and observe how they work with traditional tools and kilns. You may participate in a hands-on lesson in traditional pottery methods. Next, walk uphill with your guide for about 20 minutes to reach Shwesandaw Pagoda, a 250-foot (76-meter) stupa that is said to be 2,500 years old. A 100-year-old Mandalay-style bronze Buddha statue sits inside, along with several other Buddha statues. You have probably worked up an appetite by now, so head to a popular local restaurant that specializes in vegetarian cuisine, and have a tasty lunch. Afterward, you have time to explore BaungDawGyoke Pagoda which is home to around 30 pythons taken care off by nuns (if you fear of snakes ,don’t visit). After a stroll around town, return to the ferry to head back to Yangon. As you cruise along the river, your guide points out notable landmarks until you reach the dock in Yangon. After that, we will have dinner at the local restaurant in Yangon and send you back to the hotel and end the program.
