Half day boat excursion to Mingun

You will be picked up at your hotel around 1:30 p.m. Together with your guide you drive to the jetty. Here you will have enough time to observe the lively riverside goings-on. Then take a riverboat trip to the ancient capital city of Mingun (approx. one hour each way). Visit the Settawya Pagoda, with its Buddha footprint, and the Mingun Bell, the largest ringing bell in the world; view the nearby unfinished Mingun Pagoda, built to be the world’s biggest pagoda and visit the Hsinbyume Pagoda, a replica of the mythological Mount Meru. In the late afternoon, return to Mandalay by boat.
