Joshua was so patient and kind with me and I really really enjoyed this trip. Also, Kakku is not yet crowded with tourists and you should visit it as its so magnificent. The car drive was fun too and the ride was very smooth and comfortable!
We start the tour seeing a local market. It’s an amazing experience as long as you are seeing how they disposal the product’s.. fresh fruit, meat and fish all mix... but fresh!! The guide Thet make a excellent work, she explain about everything that she find in the way.. even we stop to see bambù roots and how they growing. Kakku it’s a big Place and nice to see!!
It's time to go there for a tour. How can I have so many towers?
This a fantastic day out. We got to explore areas of Myanmar that we would never have gone to on our own. The pagodas at Kakku are simply amazing and the tour of Taunggyi was brilliant. Our tour guide, Thet, was exceptional.
we wanted to see inle lake so the tour guide arranged another route when returning to the bus station for us to take photos!
Ms.Thet was an excellent tour guide, very friendly and informative. Kakku pagoda is absolutely beautiful, worth the one day trip.
So amazing that many pagodas here. We took many photos and have a good time.
Pagoda with the same forest, very strong Buddhist atmosphere, the morning to visit the stadium afternoon to the market and vineyards, the day trip is very relaxed and comfortable
Overall worth the price, service is ok, will recommend.
