Experience a luxury discovery in Myanmar. Uncover hidden cave temples, traditional Pakokku crafts, and private river cruises on the Irrawaddy.
Step beyond the well-trodden paths of Bagan and uncover a deeper side of Myanmar with this immersive full-day experience — thoughtfully curated for travelers seeking authenticity, culture, and quiet luxury.
This exclusive journey begins with a private transfer to the rarely visited Kyauk Gu Ohnmin Cave Temple, a breathtaking 12th-century sanctuary carved into the dramatic walls of a deep ravine. Built from stone and brick, this hidden cave complex reveals dark caverns, ancient Buddha images, and a serene spiritual atmosphere — offering a powerful glimpse into Myanmar’s rich Buddhist heritage. Far from the crowds, this sacred site invites moments of reflection, wonder, and discovery.
The journey continues to Pakokku, a charming riverside town known for its traditional craftsmanship and vibrant local life. Guests explore bustling markets, visit a local slipper factory, and witness the intricate production of the town’s famous handwoven cotton blankets — a centuries-old craft that reflects the rhythm of everyday Myanmar life.
From Pakokku’s jetty, a private boat awaits for a leisurely cruise along the Irrawaddy River, where lunch is elegantly served on board. As the boat glides gently downstream, travelers enjoy uninterrupted views of riverside villages, golden pagodas, and timeless rural landscapes — a serene interlude that captures the true essence of the country.
In the afternoon, the journey returns to the heart of Bagan, stopping at Myinkaba Village, renowned as the region’s center for traditional lacquerware. Here, artisans continue age-old techniques passed down through generations, producing exquisite handcrafted pieces that reflect both heritage and artistry. Myinkaba is also Bagan’s most celebrated shopping enclave, offering refined souvenirs and authentic cultural treasures.
This carefully crafted experience is ideal for travelers who have explored Bagan’s iconic highlights and wish to venture deeper — discovering hidden temples, authentic communities, and life along Myanmar’s legendary waterways, all delivered with Khiri’s signature elegance, insight, and attention to detail.
This carefully crafted experience is for travelers who wish to move beyond the icons and embrace a genuine sense of storyliving along Myanmar’s legendary waterways. Please contact: sales.myanmar@khiri.com to discover the heart of the Irrawaddy.
