Pakokku is a destination that has loads of cool stories to tell. If you feel like your life's been a bit humdrum lately, a trip here is the perfect answer!
It sits 210 kilometres to the northwest of Naypyidaw, the capital of Myanmar.
We all know that time spent in nature can improve your well-being, both mental and physical. In light of that, why wouldn't you journey 50 kilometres out of Pakokku to Mount Popa? Taung Kalat, just 50 kilometres away, is one more recommended option.
The Ananda Temple and the Shwezigon Pagoda are close to the centre of Nyaung-U, 25 kilometres to the southwest of Pakokku. Why not go there and take a look?
Planning to head to Bagan? This place is only 30 kilometres to the southwest. If you're staying here a while, make sure you visit the Dhammayangyi Temple, the Lawkananda Paya and the Somingyi Kyaung. Also consider swinging by the Nagayon and the Abeyadana Pahto.
Few things in the world mix extreme thrills with calm and wonder quite like hot air ballooning. Take to the heavens and stare in wonder at the passing scenery below.
Practise one of your favourite hobbies or try out something new in the waters around Myanmar. You'll find a number of invigorating watersports on offer, including swimming and scuba diving.
If you get stuck in miserable weather, head for cover in one of the region's history museums, art galleries and craft workshops.
On a clear day, pack up the kids and head outside to discover the surrounding area's open-air markets.
History enthusiasts will be charmed by the area's ruins and historic palaces. If that sounds like you, do a little research and pick one to visit first.
You don't need to believe in a higher power to enjoy Pakokku's temples and monasteries. Learn a bit about the local beliefs and find some tranquillity at the same time.
Eating is among life's greatest pleasures, and since you're here, we guess you think travel is too. Combine your appetite for both by going out and tasting the local cuisine at a handful of the restaurants, cafés and bars in town.
Ngapi (fermented seafood) and a thoke (salads) are two common ingredients used in many dishes here. If you don't love them already, you will by the end of your journey!
While in Pakokku, dine like the locals do. That means ordering a plate of tea leaf salad or shan-style rice (fish rice), some of the area's classic dishes.
Do you still have some give in your waistband after the main course? Then put in an order for halawa (sticky rice, butter and coconut), a delicious dessert.
Delicious food, dancing and music — national celebrations show us the best of what a country has to offer. Don't forget to join in with the locals on Independence Day on the 21st of March.
If you'll be travelling via air, you'll most likely be using Mandalay International Airport (MDL). It's 100 kilometres to the northeast. Pack your bags, plan a route and set that alarm!
