Extension Tours: EXT-05 Yangon-Pyay-Akauk Taung-Yangon Overview Pyay also known as Prome is principal town in the Bago Division in Myanmar. Pyay is located on the Eastern bank of Ayeyarwady River and is 260 km Northwest of Yangon. The British Irrawaddy Flotilla Company established the current town in the late 19th century on the Ayeyarwady River as a transshipment point for cargo between Upper and Lower Myanmar. The staple crops are rice, cotton, and tobacco, the other products are teak, cutch, sugar, dairy products and the custard apples are famous. Nearby are the ruins of the ancient Pyu capital of Thayekhitaya (Sri Kestra), which has been recognized as world heritage site by UNESCO. Across Ayeyarwaddy River on the western bank near Htone-Bo,there is a place of attraction called Akauk Taung (a toll-hill).At the end of the Second Anglo-Burmese war, Myanmar and British toll-posts were situated on Akauk Taung, a toll-hill in Myanmar language side by side. All boatmen had to pay tax to both posts.

All sailing boats anchored close by the hill and waited till occasionally a week-long whirlpool ceased. The sailors prayed to God by carving Buddha images on the steep cliff side during that period. The mountain was named for the crafty toll-takers from the mid -19th Century. This trip will reveal one of the world heritage sites of Myanmar and the spectacular site of countless Buddha Images on the wall of Ayeyarwaddy River bank.
