Stay at Thahara Pindaya

Thahara Pindaya is a farm house, set on the outskirts of the Pindaya town, in Eastern Myanmar. Situated high above the town and surrounded with a beautiful farmland, it affords stunning views of the countryside and the Pone Taloke Lake. Housed within the two-storey brick structure are just five rooms – two rooms on the ground floor and three upstairs with a balcony – all immaculately clean and simply furnished. Thahara is ideally placed to explore the nearby Pindaya caves.

Stay 

Thahara Pindaya has just five guest rooms. All rooms (26 sqm) are designed in contemporary style with comfortable double or twin beds draped in fine cotton sheets, tiled floors and en suite bathrooms with showers. Rooms are equipped with tea & coffee making facilities, hair dryers, towels & dressing gowns, Wi-Fi, bottled water and a safe. Some rooms have Juliet balconies while others have a common glass-enclosed veranda with comfortable chairs overlooking the fields. 

ChildCare 

Families with children are welcome to stay at Thahara Pindaya but there are no specific facilities available for children. 

Dine 

The in-house restaurant at the Thahara Pindaya serves homemade traditional dishes with some Western favourites prepared with fresh ingredients sourced locally or from their own organic garden, which also has banana and mango trees. Meals are served in the dining room overlooking the farm. Thahara can also organise picnics in the surrounding area. 

Relax 

There are no facilities of the kind expected in a luxury hotel but there are enough spaces to relax and the helpful staff at the Thahara Pindaya are always ready to offer advice on visiting local areas. Take a leisurely walk to explore the Shwe Oo Min Cave Pagoda or learn to make traditional Shan paper, or just soak up the unique atmosphere of this beautiful part of Myanmar.

Experience 

Pindaya is famous for its limestone caves, its attractive lakeside setting, and the traditional Shan paper umbrellas that are manufactured here. Most travellers at the Thahara Pindaya, take visit the Pindaya caves set high on a limestone ridge above Pone Taloke Lake. On return, stop at the gorgeous 19th-century Hsin Khaung Taung Kyaung temple and the Green Tea Restaurant with beautiful views of the lake. Other activities include cycling, trekking and visiting cottage industries.

Location Thahara is located in the hills of Shan State, close to the small town of Pindaya. Shan State is towards the northeast of the country.

Getting there Approximately 13-hour indirect flight to Yangon or Mandalay, followed by a short domestic flight to Heho. It takes about an hour to drive from Heho to Pindaya by private transfer.

When to go The best time to visit Burma is during the dry season from November to April. At this time the warm and sunny days are ideal for sightseeing throughout the country. The temperatures start to rise in March and May to September is best avoided as this is the rainy season when sightseeing can become difficult.
