Watch the delicate work of locals creating colourful paper umbrellas, investigate the gleaming statues packed into a Buddhist pilgrimage site, and dine on freshly prepared regional specialities at a lakefront restaurant on this private excursion to Pindaya.

Get picked up from your hotel and enjoy a scenic ride through rolling hills as you make your way towards the Pindaya Caves. On your way, make a special side trip to a local paper factory where ornate paper umbrellas are created in vibrant colours and meticulous designs. When you reach the caves, head inside and spend some leisure time admiring more than 8,000 images of Buddha, often depicted as gilded statues.

Chat with your guide about the cave's significance on your way to the Green Tea Restaurant, where you might try a variety of traditional dishes while you dine at tables adjacent to the tranquil waters of Pone Taloke Lake. With your appetite sated, climb back in your comfortable shuttle and cruise back to your hotel.
