The caves filled with 8000-some Buddha images mark any Pindaya tours. Some say only by going in at a certain depth can you reach the utmost of the caves as well as your Pindaya vacation. To testimony such a miracle for your ideal Indochina tours, a flashlight might be of help.

The road north from Aungban to Pindaya passes through a bucolic pastoral setting that's like a Whistler landscape – the perfect middle American or European countryside. You'll pass groups of Myanmar people wearing wide-brimmed sun hats and hunched over rice and potato fields, and the small Pa-O and Danu villages of Pwehla and Ji-Chanzi. Easily visited from Kalaw on a day trip, Pindaya is best known for its Buddha-filled limestone caves, its picturesque Boutalake Lake and one of the region's most interesting markets, which sells everything from pancake-like snacks to gnarled fish and cooked snakes.

A strange and somewhat kitschy mix of the artificial and natural and the commercial and holy, the Pindaya Caves, in a limestone ridge overlooking the lake, are announced for miles around by the templelike structures covering the ramp and lift to the entrance. When a brave young prince knew that seven beautiful girls were trapped in the big cave by a giant spider, he managed to kill the monster and rescued the girls, and of course, the youngest and prettiest girl became his love of life. This is the brief abbreviation of the legend about the caves. Behind the legend, once inside it's difficult not to succumb to Buddha fatigue, as over 8000 Buddha images – made from alabaster, teak, marble, brick, lacquer and cement – have been arranged over the centuries to form a sea of serene faces in the labyrinthine cave chambers. Smaller side chambers are accessible only on hands and knees, and you may come across people practicing meditation. Although many areas within the caves are illuminated by electric lights, you might need a flashlight to explore the caves at depth.

Villages near Pindaya caves, such as Yebok village, can be nice stop out of the caves. Step to the local markets where handicrafts like paper and umbrellas are on sale. You don't need a flashlight here, but you camera is supposed to get ready for the colorful local life.
