Sandawshin Zwegabin Pagoda, Buddhist temple at Mount Zwegabin summit, Hpa-An, Myanmar

The Sandawshin Zwegabin Pagoda sits atop Mount Zwegabin at 722 meters elevation, offering views across the Kayin State's limestone mountains and plains.

The pagoda complex includes ancient Buddhist structures and a monastery where monks have maintained continuous religious practices through generations of Myanmar's history.

The temple serves as a center for Buddhist meditation and prayer, where resident monks perform daily rituals and welcome visitors to participate in their spiritual activities.

Visitors can reach the temple via a steep stairway that takes between two and four hours to climb, with an entrance fee of 3000 kyats required for access.

The monastery at the summit provides basic overnight accommodations for travelers, allowing them to share living spaces near the resident Buddhist monks.
