Inwa, also known as Ava, is a former royal capital of Myanmar, steeped in history and natural beauty. Located not far from Mandalay, this fascinating destination offers a glimpse into Burma's glorious past. Must-sees include the Bagaya monastery, built from teak wood, and the leaning tower of Nanmyin, the remains of a former royal palace. The pagodas scattered across the countryside and the ruins of the ramparts bear witness to the city's former grandeur.
To explore Inwa, a horse-drawn carriage ride through the dusty paths is a must, allowing you to immerse yourself in the peaceful and authentic atmosphere of the place. The views of the green rice paddies and surrounding villages contrast with the historical remains, creating a breathtaking landscape.
Inwa embodies the soul of Myanmar: a harmonious blend of culture, history and serenity. A visit here will give you a better understanding of the country's cultural heritage and an appreciation of its architectural wealth.
