As soon as we arrived in the village, we saw a sign pointing to the Shwe Gu Gu Hotel. After seeing the comfy-looking bungalows and the lush garden, we decided to stay there. The bungalow cost around 30&nbsp;000 kyat (20 euros) including a yummy local breakfast the next morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we arrived at Ywangan, we were super hungry. We had a nice meal at the hotel\u2019s restaurant and also ate there the next day. With English speaking staff, it was easy to get vegetarian food there. Also, we didn\u2019t see many if any open restaurants in the village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"610\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_20200130_074819-1024x610.jpg\" alt=\"Delicious vegetarian breakfast at Shwe Gu Gu Hotel: Shal-noodles, deep-fried treats and green tea\" class=\"wp-image-3946\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_20200130_074819-1024x610.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_20200130_074819-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_20200130_074819-768x457.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Delicious vegetarian breakfast at Shwe Gu Gu Hotel: Shan-noodles, deep-fried treats and green tea<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sunset at the Shwe Pwint Lin Pagoda<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the first evening of our road trip, we went to see the sunset from Shwe Pwint Lin pagoda, which was located near to our hotel.

Ywangan is Myanmar\u2019s most important producer of Arabica coffee beans. The Genius coffee factory offers some tours on their farm a bit outside of the village, but we only visited the factory shop located right in the village. The local coffee tasted good \u2013 even for Johanna, who doesn\u2019t even like coffee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-13-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Would have been a good place to buy some souvenirs, too\" class=\"wp-image-3933\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-13-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-13-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-13-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-13.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Would have been a good place to buy some souvenirs, too<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-12-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"BTW, there were also a few bungalows for rent at the premises of the factory store\" class=\"wp-image-3932\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-12-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-12-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-12-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-12.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>BTW, there were also a few bungalows for rent at the premises of the factory store<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cave adventures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ywangan is totally not, yet, on the tourist\nradar, but the most known tourist attraction nearby is a blue lagoon and a\nwaterfall. These, too, would surely be interesting sights to see, but we had\nsomething else in mind. We had heard about a stalactite cave with a river\nflowing inside and were determined to find it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cave that goes by the names Yae Win and\nSin Lal is located some 20 kilometers from the village of Ywangan. We got some\ndriving instructions from our hotel and the location is also marked on the\nMaps.me app. Despite all the guiding, we managed to get lost on the way but got\nhelp from the friendly locals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-18-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Pagodas on the way to the cave\" class=\"wp-image-3938\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-18-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-18-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-18-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-18.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Pagodas on the way to the cave<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, we found our way through all the\nbumps and curves to the cave and were instantly convinced, that getting there\nhad been worth all the trouble. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-06-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Can you see the cave?\" class=\"wp-image-3926\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-06-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-06-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-06-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-06.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Can you see the cave?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We walked through a field following the river, until we came to the mouth of the cave. There we found a rickety wooden ladder leading to the dark cave. Being completely alone in the cave added some extra excitement to the moment, but we didn\u2019t go very deep into the cave anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-07-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"River leading to the cave\" class=\"wp-image-3927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-07-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-07-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-07-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-07.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>River leading to the cave&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-08-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"...and flowing through it\" class=\"wp-image-3928\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-08-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-08-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-08-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-08.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>&#8230;and flowing through it<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-09-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Then it got dark\" class=\"wp-image-3929\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-09-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-09-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-09-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-09.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Then it got dark<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Waterfall misadventures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We had heard that somewhere not too far from the cave would be an impressive waterfall. Finding it was easier said than done. We asked for directions from every person we saw on the way. Some local men even drew us a map. Still, after riding around for an hour, we hadn\u2019t had a glimpse of the mystical waterfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-11-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The nice men drawing us a map\" class=\"wp-image-3931\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-11-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-11-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-11-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03-11.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The nice men drawing us a map<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we finally admitted that we should give up, it was already too late. We had ended up to some small, remote road leading through some plantations. The unpaved road resembled more a construction site than an actual road. On top of a steep hill, we decided to turn back. Johanna, after calculating the risks, decided to get off the bike and to walk down. And indeed, an Enfield is not an Enduro &#8211; the next thing Johanna saw was Seri and the Enfield sliding down on the loose gravel. Seri was lying under the bike, there was some blood and the gasoline was dripping from the tank to the ground. At first, we were both quite shocked. We quickly turned the engine off and, together, got the bike back up. In the end, the bike had gotten only a few minor scratches and there was still plenty of gasoline left in the tank. Luckily, Seri also didn\u2019t get too bad injuries, but some wounds on his hands, arms, legs, and self-esteem, and his only pants ripped. After treating the wounds with our first aid kit, we had to continue our way, as we were in the middle of nowhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we got back to our hotel, the friendly\npersonnel looked at Seri and wondered what had happened. Together we cleaned\nthe wounds better. Our adventure this day had taken much longer than we had planned,\nand it was getting late. Still, after having a little break and calming our\nnerves, we decided to stick to our plan and to continue to our next\ndestination, Pindaya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On our way to Pindaya<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On our way to Pindaya we checked out our\nlast attraction in the Ywangan area, the Main Ma Ya Thakinpa pagoda. It\u2019s\nlocated some 40 minutes ride away from Ywangan to the direction of Pindaya. The\nbeautiful golden peaks of the stupas built on top of a karst mountain can be\nseen from the road, but we wanted to get up there, even though it was getting\nlate. Both, the views from the top as well as the pagoda itself were\nimpressive.
