Nats and Mt. Popa

Nats are spirits worshipped in Burma. The most important nat pilgrimage site is Mount Popa, with numerous temples and relic sites atop a mountain located near Bagan. The plain of Bagan - which is home to 2200 temples or their remains - is a destination in itself for travelers to Burma but Mt Popa is near enough for a day trip.
