About this activity
Our driver and professional English-speaking guide will pick you up at your hotel in Inle Lake at 8:00 am or Heho airport.
Enjoy a very beautiful scenic drive up into the hills and across the Shan Plateau, through mountain fields to Kakku, where an incredible 2,478 stupas are arranged in neat rows over a square kilometer of Shan State hillside, is one of the most spectacular monuments in Myanmar. Discover the ancient religious monument. The breathtaking Kakku pagodas have to be seen to be believed and is a Shan State hidden gem.
Stupas are believed to have been commissioned as far back as 200 years ago with some dating the site back to the 3rd Century BC and credit it as being founded by the Indian Emperor Ashoka. The original pagoda collection was extended by King Alaungsithu in the 12th Century when he reigned over Bagan and many more were added in the 17th and 18th Centuries.
Your end destination is a local vineyard which is located on a hillside offering spectacular views over Inle Lake. On arrival take a break to rest while you are informed about the wine production process using the locally grown grapes. Take a stroll through the vineyard and explore the fields, winery and cellar. As the sun sets in the background be sure to taste some of the wine for yourself and enjoy the beautiful surroundings before being transferred back to your hotel or airport.
