Yandabo
This morning after breakfast we transfer to the jetty again to board a boat bound for Bagan. Halfway we break the journey and overnight at the Yandabo Home overlooking the shores of the Irrawaddy River. Only one night here and we continue our journey to Bagan in the morning.
This unique B&B sets among the local houses of the village, whose inhabitants live in harmony with nature and are well known throughout the country for their skill in pottery making. We walk among the villager's homes and watch them working on clay.
Women carrying kindle. The clay pots are covered completely and the kindle is set ablaze. This is how the pots are fired and they remain in the hot ash until cool. The women are able to carry huge baskets of kindle on their heads.
​
The people all work in the pottery business and their products are sold all over the country.

Pottery Village
It is best known as Burma's premium pottery-making center.
Out of 105 families-about800 people total-the majority are involved in ceramic production. Yandabo supports itself exclusively on the making and selling of these ceramics.
Pan Nyo
In the late afternoon, we take a jetty skit boat to the unique village of Pan Nyo, about 15 minutes downriver. What makes the village so special is the presence of over 1,000 buffalo. Each evening before the sun sets, the buffalos are walked by their farmers to the river for bathing. It is an amazing site. We return to the hotel at sunset.
