Pakistan Karakoram Highway Expedition

Naypyidaw, Myanmar's planned capital since 2005, is known for its expansive, yet eerily quiet, boulevards and grandiose architecture. This spacious city showcases an array of striking government buildings and monuments, including the colossal 325-foot Uppatasanti Pagoda, a replica of Yangon's Shwedagon Pagoda. Among its diverse attractions are the National Museum, preserving Myanmar's history, culture, and art, and the sprawling Naypyidaw Zoological Gardens, hosting the country's largest zoo and a noteworthy safari park. Despite its artificial ambiance, Naypyidaw is gradually growing with improved infrastructure and leisure facilities like shopping malls and golf courses. Its contrasting character, mixing elements of isolation with state-of-the-art facilities, presents an intriguing exploration for visitors.
Often compared to Yangon's Shwedagon Pagoda, the Uppatasanti Pagoda is an impressive, golden stupa standing 99 meters tall. This iconic landmark in Naypyidaw is surrounded by a complex of religious buildings, gardens, and fountains. Marvel at the intricate carvings and decorations, and visit the nearby pagodas housing Buddha relics, as well as the replica of the Buddha's footprint.
The National Museum in Naypyidaw provides a comprehensive overview of Myanmar's history, culture, and art. The museum features a diverse collection of artifacts, including ancient sculptures, royal regalia, traditional musical instruments, and Burmese paintings. A visit to the museum offers an opportunity to learn about the country's rich heritage and appreciate its artistic traditions.
The Naypyidaw Zoological Gardens is home to more than 400 species of animals, including elephants, tigers, and various bird species. The well-maintained park provides a unique opportunity to observe these animals in spacious enclosures that mimic their natural habitats. The zoo also features a large walk-through aviary, an aquarium, and an amusement park, making it a fun destination for all ages.
This beautifully landscaped garden features an array of colorful, illuminated fountains, creating a mesmerizing display, especially after sunset. Stroll along the paved walkways, enjoy the relaxing atmosphere, and take photos of the fountains with the impressive backdrop of the Uppatasanti Pagoda. The garden is a popular spot for locals to unwind and socialize, providing a glimpse into everyday life in Naypyidaw.
Naypyidaw, often referred to as a "ghost city," is known for its vast, empty streets and grandiose infrastructure. Rent a bicycle or hire a car to explore the city's wide boulevards, lined with enormous government buildings, luxury hotels, and empty shopping malls. This surreal experience is unlike anything you'll find in other cities, offering a unique perspective on this enigmatic capital.
Explore the Gem Museum, which displays an impressive collection of Myanmar's precious stones, including rubies, sapphires, and jade. Learn about the country's rich gem-mining history and the significance of these valuable resources to Myanmar's economy and culture.
