Mt.Zwegabin, at 722 m high is one of the most sacred mountains in Myanmar, with a monastery at its peak. Getting to the top requires a challenging two hour climb up a steep staircase. There is a monkey feeding event every day at around 11 am. Legend has it that there is a strand of the Buddha's hair enshrined in the pagoda. At the foot of the mountain, thousands of large statues of the Buddha can be seen.
