Boba Mountain is some distance from the new Bagan Hotel we stayed in, but still decided to come with the hotel's travel friends. The mountain is still quite high, and the town under the mountain that makes us more interested can experience the life of the locals, but it is an unexpected harvest.
The main attraction of Bagan is the Buddha Pagoda, but if you have enough time in Bagan to change the taste, Boba Mountain is definitely worth going. In fact, it takes about an hour to drive from Bagan to Boba Mountain. This is a sacred mountain in Myanmar, there are many myths and the guide said that there are indeed many magical things happening on this mountain. The process of going up the mountain is not very tired, the view from the top of the mountain is very good.
1. Another tour project in Bagan is a half-day tour of Boba Mountain. Generally, I find a hotel inn to book a shared taxi, and share a car with friends from all over the world; 2. The drive is about 1 hour, and the play time is about 1.5 hour; 3. Popa means flowers in Burmese, probably a hill that blooms like a flower from a distance; 4. The hill is not high, and the mountain is full of vendors and small temples along the way; 5. The most vigilant is the monkeys, which will attack humans, so keep your belongings.
Mount Boba is a famous dead volcano in central Myanmar, which means "mountain of flowers" in Burmese. The word Boba means "flower" in Sanskrit. This lonely mountain is formed by the accumulation of volcanic ash from the ground. To this day, Boba Mountain is still a symbol of Myanmar's spiritual worship. The Boba Mountain, rich in colorful magical legends, is a nihilistic fairy residence. Especially the celebration of the gods in April every year attracts thousands of pilgrims to worship.
