  • The Mount Popa Monastery aka Popa Taung Kalat is Myanmar’s most surreal pagoda - and a very popular day trip from Bagan. But with thousands of monkeys living on the mountain, what is it really like to visit?
    During our 48 hours at Mount Popa, we also checked out the best viewpoints of the temple, the best tips for visiting and give a complete tour of the incredible Popa Mountain Resort.

    MESSAGE FROM 2021: During my time in Myanmar, I saw plenty of amazing sights, but there was one constant: the people. Always smiling, always kind and always welcoming. I’ve never known hospitality like it in all of my travels… But these kind people are currently being denied basic rights by an evil military junta who refuse to recognise democracy. Protesters are being detained and everyone is under a full internet blackout. I stand with the people of Myanmar against this oppression 🇲🇲

    Thanks for watching another Myanmar episode! If you want any information about the hotel we stayed in, make sure check out the video description. I’m currently working on the FINAL episode of the Myanmar series, so keep an eye out for that in the coming week or so.
    PS I’m trying to get to 5000 subs by the end of the year, so if you haven't already, please hit the red button ;)

    You can also hike the main mountain @ 5:40.
    The wind is crazy there and you can touch and breath the clouds. There is also some stairs at the peak which leads to the radio station where they control the radio and tv channels within their range. I have been there as a school trip twice and it is my favourite place. I won't reject to hike mount poppa for the third time.

    I was fortunate to travel around Myanmar back in 2017. I wanted to visit Mt Popa but didn't have enough time in the end. I had no idea there were resorts around there but I plan to go again later this year. I will certainly stay in your resort here. I love your story telling, it is what keeps me so engaged with all your videos!

    Really honest review, I think people will appreciate it! I think I'd like to follow your advice; I will come for the view, stay at the same resort (looked amazing) and skip the climb. I would stop at the foot anyways with so many monkeys around. They freak me out! Not only that, walking bare feet. No, I'll pass.

      Chiang Mai is a great city for nature and culture, I love it there - but no sea! I hear that Koh Lanta is a very nice island. Relaxed and not too overcrowded. We loved Koh Phangnan as well. It has a reputation as a party island, but that's only in one small part of it. The rest is very relaxed 😊

    I love how the Nat and Buddhist beliefs in Myanmar have fused together. I chose not to visit Mt Poopa, and you've just confirmed why! 🐒💩 That said, your footage is BEAUTIFUL and as always marries with the music fantastically. Have you done something different with colour grading? I'm loving the tones and feel. 😀

    Been there. Mt Popa Resort was great. The monkey poop at the temple didn’t bother me so much at the table. Also, if you go, don’t forget to tip the guys cleaning up the poop. Unfortunately I don’t think it’s appropriate to visit Burma as long as the current regime is in power though.

Wow, those views from the resort are epic! You can PM me to say how much it cost... 😇 We see what you mean about the views of the monastery being better than the actual monastery experience...
