See that mountaintop temple just to the left of our family? We just climbed all 777 steps to the top! 💪 That's more than double the height of the stairs to the Batu Caves in KL. This time we did not manage to avoid the monkeys (yes there are hundreds of them living here, too). We did manage not to lose any of our belongings to furry thieves. 😎 #mountpopa #myanmar #familyphotography #familyphoto #temple #mountain #familytravel #travelwithkids #travelblog #digitalnomads #fulltimetravel (at Mount Popa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B82-G5aF7FZ/?igshid=29k598p9d61z

Mount Popa, Myanmar 😇🙏🤗 Mount Popa (Burmese: ပုပ္ပားတောင်; MLCTS: puppa: taung, IPA: [pòpá tàʊɴ]) is an extinct volcano 1518 metres (4981 feet) above sea level, and located in central Myanmar (formerly Burma) in the region of Mandalay about 50 km (31 mi) southeast of Bagan(Pagan) in the Pegu Range. It can be seen from the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) River as far away as 60 km (37 mi) in clear weather. Mount Popa is perhaps best known as a pilgrimage site, with numerous Nat temples and relic sites atop the mountain. Many legends are associated with this mountain including its dubious creation from a great earthquake and the mountain erupted out of the ground in 442 BC. It is possible that the legends about Nats represent a heritage of earlier animistreligions in Burmese countryside, which were syncreticised with Buddhist religion in the 11th century. There are legends that before the reign of Bagan king Anawrahta (1044 - 1077) hundreds of animals were sacrificed here as a part of nat worship rituals. Mount Popa is considered the abode of Burma's most powerful Nats and as such is the most important nat worship center. It has therefore been called Burma's Mount Olympus. One legend tells about brother and sister Mahagiri (Great Mountain) nats, from the kingdom of Tagaung at the upper reaches of the Irrawaddy, who sought refuge from King Thinligyaung of Bagan (344-387). Their wish was granted and they were enshrined on Mt Popa. . . . . #over60traveler #mountpopa #bagan #myanmar #myanmartravel #myanmartourism #visitmyanmar #travelmyanmar #myanmartrip #instamyanmar #igmyanmar #myanmarburma #myanmarphotos #burma #birmanie #igersmyanmar #igersbirmanie #myanmarstreetstyle #myanmarallabout #peopleofmyanmar #thepeoplewemet #wonderful_places #traveltheglobe #traveladdicted #backpackerstory #worldnomads #iamatraveller #culturetrip #withgalaxy (at Popa Hill) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1h_d2Nh20Y/?igshid=kvybd5hd3e6d
