This is the
abode of the Nats only
about one hour drive from Bagan, its a extinct volcano with a
monastery on the top at 1500 meters. The
place is dedicated to the Nats. Although
Buddhism has been the established religion
in
Myanmar
since shortly after the great council at
Patalipootra in 241 BC, spirit / nats
worship or animism is also practiced. |

Ghosts and demons
have never
really been seen but that is no reason not
to believe! The Burmese spirit world has
thirty-seven Nats, many of them are the
spirits of those who have been killed. There
are Nats of the house, the river, the air,
the jungle and many other.
At the entrance plenty of monkeys
are around since
at the staircase some
guys are selling bananas for them who rush
around there, always out to grab something,
mostly food but if they see something exiting,
they try to grab it, better be careful because
its almost impossible to get it back, they are monkey fast.
They like your goggles, once they have them thy
are gone forever, no way to get it back.
