It is a landmark of the state. It is a really beautiful mountain.
Amazing place and beautiful view. Do carry enough water as it's a long hike. It took me 4 hours up (I am not a hiking kind of guy) & 2 hours to come down.
Start as early as possible to avoid dehydration and do carry less luggage as you'll be climbing lots of steps, rocks and steps made of rocks.
There are small shops up on the top for water, food & snacks. Wooden beds to take rest.
Enjoy your trip
Mountain in Hpa-An
Imagine of Kayin State (Karen State)
I am very happy with this hike!!! It was not easy (specially for me that barely practise exercise hahaha) but the feeling of reaching the top is super satisfying! I did the hike from the opposite side of the Lumphini Garden so I found no tourists on my way and a monk invited me for lunch on my way up 😊 the views are awesome at any point and specially at the top!
Reached the foot of the mountain at 430am to hike up for the sun rise. You will be surprised that there are many people who are climbing up and down at that hour too. The whole hike is largely made up of stepz hence it is suitablr for many, although it can still be tiring for the average person.
However the mountain has much litter and rubbish from people who climb up and eat along the way. Might not have tge best smells and views at certain points of the climb as compared to other mountains in South East Asia.
Sunrise was covered by mist but I was still able to see the movement of the orange ball rise upwards. Still worth the climb.
Zwe Ka Bin is highest and most popular mountain in history and nowdays. You may enjoy climbing to the peak with group of friends. You can see and capture the beautiful senery of fields and surrounding mountains. I love it.
