Kyat Cave

Kyat Cave is a remarkable natural attraction located in Kayah State, Myanmar, near the town of Loikaw. Renowned for its stunning limestone formations and serene ambiance, the cave offers visitors a unique glimpse into the region's geological beauty and cultural significance.

It is an interesting place where you can explore legends. It takes you about 45 minutes to get KYAT Cave from Loikaw townships, by car. The KYAT Cave is being interested because of its teak coffins. There are various assumptions about the history of the Cave but no one can tell the true history of it. Some believe that it is a long coffin that expresses the wealth of the ancient Kayah tribe. Moreover, they also say that the Kayah people used to bury their ornaments along with the dead person into the wooden coffin. On the other hand, some people say that they are not really coffins and actually, were used by Japanese soldiers as wooden canoes.

Among wavering and uncertain sayings, one thing is sure that the answer is buried into those closed coffins or anything which is located at the opening of the cave. A ladder that is to ascend the Mount would lead you to the opening of the cave. Along the trip to Cave, the surroundings are beautiful with green floras. It is an amazing stalactite at the opening of the cave that would make you awesome. Lighting from outside of the cave and darkness inside is composed of a theme that you can feel since you are on the step of the ladder. But, you should have noticed that there might be snakes and scorpions in the cave, so, take care of yourself.
