Burma Mount Popa
12/2007
Mount Popa is a volcano 4981 feet above sea level, and located in central Burma about 30 miles southeast of Bagan in the Pegu Range. It can be seen from the River Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) as far away as 40 miles in clear weather. Mount Popa is perhaps best knownfor the nearby stunningly picturesque Popa Taungkalat monastery atop an outcrop. The Popa Taungkalat (Taung Kalat) Shrine is home to 37 Mahagiri Nats, or spirits. Statues depicting the Nats are at the base of the Shrine. Mt. Popa is also the home to many monkeys.
