We will drive on the road following the banks of the Irrawaddy River and pass through Myanmar¿s oil capital of Chau to Salay; it is an ancient town rich in Myanmar culture. You will visit Yoke Sone Monastery; the whole building is built of wood and is a fine example of monastic architecture of the late Konbaung Period. The main attraction of the monastery is the decorative wooden panels made by the master carvers of the period whose meticulous workmanship is in many ways superior to those of later periods. Continue the trip by road for 1, 5 hour to Mount Popa; an extinct volcano that is estimated to have erupted for the final time, over three hundred and twenty thousand years ago. The main mountain originally had a circular crater, but the whole of the north-western side was blown away, probably by the final paroxysmal outburst, which suggests that the last eruption must have projected its discharge inclined to the sides of the volcano in that direction. The present mountain is, therefore shaped like a horse-shoe, and it is possible to walk into the crater through the breach in the northern wall". You will return to Bagan in the late afternoon.
