Fantastic

You will be surrounded by thousands of Buddha inside this limestone caves. You can find different sizes and styles. There's two Buddha in black colors too! It's gorgeous by just looking at these Buddhas in such a quiet and peaceful place.

Buddhas everywhere you look

It's quite an experience to wander the corridors of the cave and see Buddha statues of all sizes on the floor, in niches on the walls and set on pedestals. The lift up to the cave is a blot on the landscape but it beats...More

Buddha Caves

Interesting place. An unusual sight. There are over 8000 Buddha images inside the caves, made from different materials (marble, brick, lacquer...), and representing Buddhist iconography from different periods of time. Pindaya is a charming town, maybe we'll be back next time, and spend some days...More

Does anyone know how to make a donation and have a buddha placed in Pindaya cave? I tried to find out when I was there last month, but couldn't get an answer. I have contacted a couple of Myanmar travel sites since getting home, and no one has been able to answer my question. Any advice? Thanks.

Best trekking Kalaw, Pindaya, Inle Lake (1 Replies)

We will be staying in Kalaw and would like to do a 2 day trekking or a 2,5 days trekking (taking into account that we visit the Pindaya caves in the morning on day 1 and then in the afternoon start the trekking to Inle). So far that the most obvious way is to start from Kalaw and go to Inle. As we will also be visiting the Pindaya Caves, we could also do a trekking from there. Can anyone recommend a trekking that is really worthwhile, because of the landscape, the village tribes...

Day trip to Pindaya Caves from Lake Inle or Kalaw? (4 Replies)

Hi We're planning to fly from Yangon to Heho and taxi on to Kalaw. Will stay a couple of days then hike from Kalaw to Lake Inle. We would also like to do a day trip to Pindaya Caves. Is it best to do this from Kalaw or Lake Inle? Thanks!

Response fromDave n|

you could do it from either place..... Kalaw is a bit closer and goes via Aungban, from Nyaungshwe you go via Heho. Another option, if you have time when you fly in, is to take the taxi straight to Pindaya Caves, then to Kalaw.
