Begin your day with a leisurely stroll, immersing yourself further in the village’s charm. Then, embark on a scenic drive to Salay, where a treasure trove of cultural landmarks awaits. Explore the renowned Yoksone Monastery, Shin Pin Sar Kyo Hla Pagoda, Mann Pagoda, U Phoe Kyi House, and Salay House, each offering a glimpse into the region’s rich heritage.

On the journey back to Bagan, enjoy the picturesque sights along the Ayeyarwady River, passing through Chauk. Marvel at the remnants of old Burma oil installations, known as “nodding donkeys.” These installations are a type of oil pump that consists of a beam balanced on a central pivot, causing it to rock back and forth like a nodding motion when extracting oil from the ground. The reference to “nodding donkeys” adds a touch of historical fascination to the route, as it highlights the remnants of Burma’s oil industry from the past.

Finally, as you arrive in Bagan, a seamless transfer will be arranged to whisk you back to the comfort of your hotel, ensuring a relaxing end to your memorable community-involved tourism experience.

Remark: Please note that the Yokesone Monastery in Salay is closed every Monday and on Gazette holidays.
