Kakku Pagoda is located about 65kms away from Nyang Shwe and is reachable by motorbike (it will take you about 1h45 to drive there). The drive itself is quite interesting and will make you cruise through the Burmese country side.
Another option is to take a taxi to bring you there.
Once you have reached the pagoda you will quickly realize how peaceful and quite it is. Here no big group of tourists, only a few locals who come to pray/visit the place.
The place itself is fantastic! it gathers more than 2000 stupas each of them having a few belt attached to the top. This gives the place a very mystical and magical vib. Here not only your eyes will be amazed, you will also enjoy the mesmerising melody of the thousands belts changing rhythm with the wind.
Highly recommanded for those who want to escape the crowd of Nyang Shwe and experience a "soul touching" place.
