Hpa-An Travel

Hpa-an, Kayin State's scruffy riverside capital, isn't going to inspire many postcards home. But the people are friendly, and the city is the logical base from which to explore the Buddhist caves, sacred mountains, and rivers and lakes of the stunning surrounding countryside.

Best time to visit

If you want to avoid both the hot (March – May) and the rainy season (June – September), the best time to visit Hpa An is during middle October – February, as with much of the rest of Myanmar this marks the dry season where the weather is typically warm and sunny much of the time.

Check the below table for the general idea of Hpa An weather throughout the year.

Hpa An’s current weather and 7-day forecast

HPA-AN WEATHER

1. Do a small hike up to Hpan Pu Mountain

Hpan Pu Mountain is the perfect way to experience Hpa-An. In themorning, take the canoe boat (500 kyats) from this place to the other side of the Thanlyin River. Expect to get a bit of dirt on your shoes. The people in this area they grow a lot of vegetables and sell them in Hpa-An.

Once you get off the boat, walk 350 meters until you reach a small town and note the sign to the left that says ‘Hpan Pu Mountain’. Once you are at the foot of the mountain, go right and walk around until this point. On your left side, there is a stair that will lead you about 20 minutes to an amazing view over Hpa-An.

Tip: Don’t go up the mountain directly from the main road. You have to pass a temple so you have to leave your shoes behind while climbing to the top. Walk around the mountain (as mentioned above).

2. Visit Saddar Cave

Saddar Cave is one of those places you do not expect to see. Follow the path for 15 minutes into this massive cave. The path ends at a small lake where you can take the boat back near to the entrance of the cave.

The area is surrounded by lush green rice plantations which makes it even more impressive. The entrance to the cave is 1000 kyat ($0.75) and a private boat ride about 3000 kyats ($2.25)

Good to know: This cave is closed during the rainy season.

3. Hike up Mount Zwekabin

If you think hiking up the Hpan Pu Mountain is way too boring for you then get out in the early morning and hike up Mount Zwekabin. This 2.5-hour hike will definitely test your skills. You will get rewarded with an insane view.

4. Visit Golden Rock

Halfway from Yangon to Hpa-An, there is Kyaiktiyo Pagoda, better known as Golden Rock. It is one of the most important Buddhist sites in Myanmar. Getting to Golden Rock is quite a ride from the base camp. From here, you will take something like a bus filled with locals and a few tourists and it takes about an hour to reach the top.

The views from on top are beautiful and it is fascinating to see how many (local) people there are on the top of the mountain.

5. Sunset at the river

One of the most simple, yet, memorable things to do in Hpa-An is watching the sunset at Thanlyin River. You might even have the luck to interact with some locals who are washing themselves or their dishes in the river.

6. Kyauk Kalat Pagoda

Another spot where your mind will say: But .. how?! The Kyauk Kalat Pagoda is situated on top of a small limestone dot and it looks like he is almost falling over. Beautiful place to spend a small hour.

7. Explore the rice fields

Hpa-An is surrounded by unbelievable green rice fields. Rent a motorbike or bike and drive just outside of town. They grow rice multiple times a year so you will have a big chance to see it.

8. Explore Mawlamyine

About a 1.5-hour drive from Hpa-An is Mawlamyine. A more developed but less touristy city. This city was the former main harbor of Myanmar before it moved to Yangon. You can visit the biggest Reclining Buddha (Win Sein Taw Ya) in the world, who is 180 meters!! in length. Or have an amazing sunset from the Kyaik Than Lan Pagoda.

Get in

There is no train connection to Hpa-an, only road travel goes into the city.

From specific destinations:

Mawlamyine – Bus (no air-con) is about 2 hr, 1,200 kyat. There is also a boat available from Mawlamyine to Hpa-an for 70,000 kyat (private charter) or 10,000 kyat per person (shared) leaving from Hpa-an Jetty at 08:00 and taking about 3 hr.

Myawaddy – The bus is about 5,000 kyat and takes 3-5 hr. There are also many shared taxis running between Hpa-an and Myawaddy for 10,000 kyat per person which take around 4 hr.

Kyaiktiyo (Golden Rock) – Bus with air-con is about 2½-3 hr to Kyaikto, 5-7,000 kyat. Every 30 min from about 06:00-10:00, then at least every hour for the rest of the day. A slower direct "government" bus leaves at 07:30, but it's probably more comfortable to change in Kyaikto.

Dawei – Bus leaves 05:00, 14,000 kyat.

Buses also come in from Yangon (Aung Mingalar Highway Station, 6 hr, about 5,000 kyat, every 30-60 min) and Bago.

Buses from Bagan, Naypyidaw and Mandalay, tend to go directly to Mawlamyine through Thaton. Nevertheless, from the Golden Pagoda in Thaton it is easy to catch a pickup (1,500 kyat) or bus (2,000 kyat) to Hpa-an. Also, trains stop in Thaton, but not Hpa-an.

The Clock Tower is the main transport hub for travelers. Shared taxis and buses leave and stop here. The area is spotted with numerous ticket sellers.

There is also the official Sat Pyit Kwin Bus Terminal, just in case you do not get dropped off at the clock tower or are keen to get your bus ticket first-hand.

We recommend you check the latest bus schedule and price via rome2rio.com

Get around

By taxi

Especially around the market and the ferries, plenty of motorbike-taxis and trishaws are available. Do not pay more than 1,000 kyat for destinations within the city. Trips to the countryside for a couple of hours should not cost more than 5,000 kyat for a trishaw.

Shared tuktuk (max 6 pax) cost ~35,000 kyat for one whole day (07:00-18:00). It takes you to all places of interest except Bat Caves. Petrol & toll are inclusive.

By rental motorbike

It is easy to rent a motorbike; some hostels like Galaxy Motel and Soe Brother can arrange them (~ 8.000 kyat/day) from 07:00 onwards.
