Take the Long Way Home - Come Explore Mount Popa

Just a short trip from Old Bagan lies Mount Popa, a dormant volcano with a truly unique cultural twist. This isn’t just about ticking off a sightseeing spot, it’s about immersing yourself in something completely different from your own world.

I’ve always felt that travel shouldn’t just be about “me” and 'what I did', but about connecting with the places and people along the way. A fun tip - pack some colorful stickers and pens! You’ll quickly find that you’re as much a tourist attraction to the locals as their world is to you, and giving a small gift like that brings the biggest smiles.

Now, I hope you’re not too superstitious… because Mount Popa is known as the spiritual home of the Nats! These spirits are a fascinating part of Burmese culture, rooted in pre-Buddhist animist traditions and later blended with Buddhism in the 11th century. Think of it as Burma’s very own Mount Olympus, home to the most powerful Nats and the country’s most important site for nat worship.

Exploring Mount Popa is more than a visit — it’s stepping into a living story of culture, legend, and spirituality.
