    Mount Popa & Taung Kalat

    PopaMyanmarPre-Bagan Era (c. 9th century)

    Mount Popa is an extinct volcano in central Myanmar famous worldwide as the spiritual abode of Myanmar's 37 Great Nats (powerful animist guardian spirits). Soaring dramatically above the Myingyan Plain, the sharp volcanic plug of Taung Kalat is crowned by a striking complex of gilded monasteries and shrines. Pilgrims and travellers travel from across Southeast Asia to pay homage to Min Mahagiri, Me Wunna, and the Shwe Hpyin brothers, making Mount Popa the ultimate epicenter of Burmese spirit belief, ancient folklore, and mystical energy.
