Your Bago day trip from Yangon starts at the hotel in Yangon. After 2-hour drive (about 84 kilometers), arrive in Bago, the center of the Mon Kingdom of Lower Myanmar during the 15th century. Begin your Bago’s sightseeing in the charming Kya Khet Waii monastery, an eminent teaching center for hundreds of monks from neighboring regions to study Buddhism. You will have ample time to observe when the monks walk mindfully in procession for their last meal of the day.
