“Did the monks ever fly from Chan Thar Gyi Chan Thar Ya Pagoda?” a young boy once asked his grandfather. The old man smiled, his eyes twinkling as he gazed at Chan Thar Gyi Chan Thar Ya Pagoda. “Not quite flying,” he chuckled, “but they certainly had the best view in Mogok.” The Chan Thar Gyi Chan Thar Ya Pagoda sits atop Pagoda Hill in the Shan Taw Quarter of Mogok. It isn’t just a place of worship. It’s a beacon, visible from all corners of the valley. And it’s a viewpoint, offering a panorama that truly makes you feel like you’re on top of the world. Every February, the pagoda bursts into life. The annual pagoda festival transforms the serene hill into a vibrant hub of activity. Locals from Mogok and visitors from further afield gather to celebrate, their joy echoing the vibrant colours of the festival.
