"The Hidden city of Myanmar"

In Myanmar, Rakhine State is famous for its Ngapali Beach, historic port of Sittwe and its amazing sites and destinations that mostly are not yet visited by many. It is in the South-West Myanmar and bordering with Bangladesh in the West.

This is where the ancient city of Mrauk U which is normally refer to as the hidden city of Myanmar. It is a growing destination for travellers who appreciate the natural settings and a semi adventure type of tour.

To visit Mrauk U and many places in Rakhine state, Sittwe is the primary gateway. Many of the Rakhine people are muslim and one will find numerous mosques in the city. It also boasts several interesting pagodas and fascinating monasteries on the main street. It is where in those monasteries, That you will find a collection of Buddha images which of them are copies as well as originals dating from 15th century at the peak of Mrauk U times. Another highlight of Sittwe is the beach that is an ideal place to sit and absorb the sunset.
Mrauk U is a thriving city of in the 15th to 17th century. This trip is the main highlight where you will get an insight of the river life and surrounding countryside. Mrauk U was a successor of two earlier kingdoms in the area: Danyawadi( 1st to 6th AD ) and Wethali ( 3rd to 10th AD ), the remains of which are still visible in the north of Mrauk U.

Mrauk U is noted for its Fort-like temples and pagodas built of massive stones. Unlike the temples of Bagan, Mrauk U' ruins are constructed with stone in a truely unique style rather than traditional bricks. The most well preserved temple in Mrauk U is the Shitthaung built in 1535 AD, by the most powerful King of Rakhine kings. The caves, tunnels, passages and Buddha images of the temple are intriguing and some say the construction is similar to Borobudur in Indonesia. There are many other temples to visit in Mrauk U as well as the ruins of the royal palace and city walls.
