ザバー洞窟

A limestone cave about 2km northwest of the Yatepyan Cave. The Bar Cave. Also known as Rice Cave. Inside there is a sleeping Buddha and many Buddhas. The cave is not very deep, but you can see huge stalactites, stalagmites, rimstones, and cave corals. Especially the huge stalactites are overwhelming. This cave is a little-known place in the field and is a hidden spot with few people going. Most of the time you'll ask the road very close and you won't know. It's a great activity for those who want a little adventure on a rental bike. In the case of a car, it will be impossible unless it is a land cruiser. The route to this place looks like a swamp when you see the satellite image of GoogleMaps, but it is actually a swamp and you can only go during the dry season to the hot season. Also, even though it is dry, it runs in a swamp, so there is no signpost or road, and it is difficult to arrive if the location is unknown. It's a way to get there, but from the direction of Hpaan, we'll first head to Yatepyan Cave. There is a big Y-junction on the way, and Yatepyan goes to the left, but goes to the Y-way to the right. There are three north-south roads in the village, but go north about 400m on the central road. When the concrete pavement is cut off outside the village, there is a T-shaped road that stands out immediately. The T-junction is a brick yard for shipping at the brick factory. Enter the west from the T-junction and exit into the rice field. If the rice fields seem to be muddy, maybe you can't go to the cave, so give up. From there, continue heading northwest to the crossroads in the rice fields. In the dry season, a brick workshop for collecting clay on the bottom of the swamp will be built, so it is best to follow the laneway of the truck. From the brick factory, you can only go by yourself, but if there is a severance road visited by Myanmar people, you can follow it. If you don't, you can't do your best. When you look at the mountain skirt of the same mountain body as Yatepyan Cave, there is a cliff (arrow in the photo) that looks like the huge stalactites are falling innumerablely. Anyway, proceed toward that place. --- Addition --- Around 2020, it seems that an access road was created from the Yatepyan cave side.
