Mrauk U

The former capital of the ethnic Arakan is known as a second Bagan, as it is filled with stone pagodas dating from the 15th to the 18th century. Mrauk U is less-visited than other tour sites due to its distance from the classic sites. To get there, you first have to fly to Sittwe (about one hour) and then take an approximately six-hour boat cruise on the river Kaladan. But this exceptional site is well worth visiting. It is also the starting point to visit the villages of the tribe of tattooed women.
