Mwe Daw - Kakku

The discovery of ancient Pagoda Complex


Kakku is a newly discovered pilgrimage tourism site which lies about 40km south of Taunggyi. This ancient Pagoda Complex known as Mwe Daw Kakku, about (306) meters in Length and (150) meters in width contains over (2500) Pagodas clustered in a small valley, surrounded by thick woods and lush meadows.

The Kakku Pagoda Festival is held twice yearly: one on the fullmonday of Tazaungmone (November) and the other on the full moon of Tabaung (March) when thousands of Pa O nationals camp out for three days to celebrate their holiest festival of the year.

Kakku is a fascinating place to visit, a place of deep devotion which dates back to traditional beliefs and ancient customs. Kakku is a rare discovery for all travelers visiting Myanmar.
