Languages: Burmese Time Zone: UTC+6:30 Power: 230 V, 50 Hz Currency: Kyat ATTRACTIONS Ngapali Beach Ngapali Beach is the most beautiful in Myanmar. This sandy beach stretches along the Bay of Bengal. There's lots to do here such as visit the small fishing villages and local markets, maybe picking up a bargain or two. Exploring the countryside by bicycle or enjoy a boat trip to the magnificent offshore islands are just a few of the many activities available. Kyaikhtiyo Pagoda The Kyaikhtiyo Pagoda is a 7.3 meter pagoda on top of a massive golden boulder that sits atop the Kyaikhto mountain. Legend says that the boulder maintains its precarious balance due to a precisely placed Buddha hair inside the pagoda and that there was once a King who received the Buddha's hair in the 11th century from a hermit. Because Myanmar has been a wonderfully kept secret, you will see all the traditions of Asia melting into one country, combined with a rich and glorious heritage spanning more than two thousand years that will leave you awestruck and wanting more. For those looking for a little adventure, try trekking through the beautiful virgin jungles, or go skiing on the snow-capped mountains. If you like to relax your days away, take a stroll or swim in one of the many pristine beaches. Unbelievable monuments and ancient cities show a vibrant culture that is just waiting to welcome you.
