MYANMAR: L'antiga Birmània ÀSIA MYANMAR: L’antiga Birmània 15 dies DATES DE SORTIDA: 10 d’agost i 12 d’octubre El paradís amagat: un regne de mercaders i temples, de somriures i elegants dones maquillades amb la groguenca pasta tanaka. Hi coneixerem la decadència colonial de Rangoon, la capital del país; les pagodes escampades de Bagan, a la vora del riu Irauadi, que Neruda va anomenar «el riu més bonic del món»; el fluir aquàtic del llac Inle, on els inthes viuen sobre palafits i conreen els horts flotants sense baixar del iot; Mandalay i les arts mil·lenàries dels seus artesans, que tallen el marbre i treballen com ningú el pa d’or amb què folren budes i pagodes… Així és Myanmar: un món de sensacions que enlluerna i desperta els sentits. El fluir tranquil de la vida en aquest país ens ajudarà a gaudir d’una magnífica experiència viatgera en un país que encara no s’ha obert completament al turisme. Dia 1: BARCELONA – YANGON. Presentació a l’aeroport de Barcelona per fer els tràmits dels vols que ens portaran cap a Yangon. Estarem a punt de descobrir la singularitat d’un poble que s’ha resistit a la influència del món occidental, aferrant-se a un passat tradicionalment religiós, que veurem reflectit en els milers de temples i estàtues de Buda característics de la tradició budista Theravada, i també en les profundes creences en els nats, esperits animistes de la terra. Nit a bord. Dia 2: ARRIBADA A YANGON. VISITA CIUTAT (Sopar) En arribar a Yangon, ens traslladarem a l’hotel. Dinarem i, a la tarda, farem la nostra primera visita a Yangon. Ens trobarem amb una ciutat antiga i espaiosa, de carrers i avingudes amples, on es concentra l’activitat de nombroses i pintoresques parades de productes exòtics. Yangon ha estat la capital de Birmània des de mitjan segle xix, moment en què els britànics van convertir el país en una província de l’Índia. Des del parc Kandawgyi, l’oasi al centre de la ciutat, veurem la brillant barcassa Karaweik, una rèplica del vaixell reial. Ens aproparem a la pagoda Botataung, aixecada als marges del riu Yangon i coneguda pel seu laberint de miralls, i arrodonirem el dia amb la visita al més sagrat dels monuments de Birmània, la pagoda Shwedagon, que domina la ciutat des del cim del turó on va ser construïda fa més de dos mil cinc-cents anys. Té una alçada de quasi 100 m, està recoberta de vuitanta tones d’or pur i té més de cinc mil diamants incrustats al lloc més alt de la punxa. Dia 3: YANGON – BAGO – KYAIKTIYO (Esmorzar, dinar i sopar) Després d’esmorzar, ens dirigirem, tot travessant les zones rurals, cap a Kyaiktiyo, el lloc de peregrinació de més renom de Birmània. Un cop arribats al camp base, i en vehicles autoritzats, començarem a pujar per l’escarpat camí del mont Kyayktiyo, que porta al cim d’aquesta muntanya, on es troba l’hotel. Dinarem i després ens afegirem als pelegrins birmans per tal de completar a peu el darrer tram del trajecte. Arribarem a la «Roca Daurada», una enorme roca coberta de làmines d’or i col·locada en un delicat equilibri a la vora d’un precipici. La llegenda narra que la roca s’aguanta per un cabell de Buda. Allotjament. Dia 4: KYAIKTIYO BAGO – YANGON (Esmorzar, dinar i sopar) Esmorzarem i sortirem cap a Bago, que va ser un gran port de mar en el passat. En arribar-hi, coneixerem la pagoda Shwemawdaw, la «gran pagoda del déu d’or». Ens sorprendrà la imatge del Buda reclinat de Shwe Ta Lyaung, de 55 m de longitud i una de les més venerades del país. Finalment visitarem l’indret de Hamsawaddy, una magnífica reconstrucció de l’antic palau dels reis Mon. Dinarem i tornarem a Yangon. Allotjament. Dia 5: YANGON – LLAC INLE (Esmorzar, dinar i sopar) Esmorzarem i anirem fins a l’aeroport per prendre el vol de línia regular que ens portarà fins a Heho, principal aeroport de l’estat Xan. Continuarem la ruta cap a Nyaung Shwe, on visitarem el monestir de fusta de Shwe Yan Pyay i el llac Inle. En arribar-hi, agafarem una embarcació per anar a l’hotel que està situat als marges del llac. Després de dinar, ens endinsarem en les acollidores aigües d’aquest llac tan bonic, i coneixerem els costums i tradicions de la minoria intha, la manera en què els pescadors remen amb un sol peu mentre amb els braços aparten l’abundant vegetació que hi creix, així com els enginyosos jardins flotants (illots de terra, fets d’una barreja de fang i jacints d’aigua, que estan ancorats al fons del llac amb uns pals de bambú). Anirem a veure la pagoda de Phaung Daw Oo i, de tornada a l’hotel, ens aturarem en un llogaret on veurem com fan els típics cigarrets birmans. Dia 6: (LLAC INLE) IN DEIN (Esmorzar, dinar i sopar) Esmorzar a l’hotel. Aquest matí anirem a veure el mercat que cada dia es munta en un lloc diferent als diversos poblets que envolten el llac. Tot seguit ens embarcarem en un petit iot per navegar per l’estret canal que ens portarà fins a In Dein. Farem una agradable passejada per aquesta població, on viu la minoria pao, i continuarem per una drecera d’esglaons vorejada per magnífiques columnes que ens durà fins a Alaung-Sithou, un recinte ple de magnífics temples amagats entre la frondosa vegetació tropical de la zona. Dinarem i tornarem cap a l’hotel. Dia 7: LLAC INLE – MANDALAY. VISITA CIUTAT (Esmorzar, dinar i sopar) Esmorzarem i disposarem d’una estona lliure en aquest idíl·lic paratge. A l’hora convinguda, ens traslladarem a l’aeroport de Heho, des d’on volarem cap a Mandalay, històricament la capital cultural de Birmània i reconeguda des de sempre com el principal centre d’artesania del país. Dinarem i després descobrirem els encants d’aquesta població. Veurem la pagoda Mahamuni, famosa per la seva venerada estàtua de Buda recoberta de gruixudes làmines d’or. Visitarem els tallers tradicionals de talles de fusta i de marbre, la tapisseria de Kalaga i el de fabricació de làmines d’or. A continuació anirem a la pagoda Kuthodaw, que consta de 729 petits temples, els quals contenen una llosa de marbre amb inscripcions budistes que es coneix pel «llibre més gran del món», i finalitzarem el nostre recorregut al monestir de Shwenandaw. Completarem el dia gaudint de la bonica posta de sol que té lloc sobre el turó de Mandalay. Dia 8: (MANDALAY) AMARAPURA, AVA I SAGAING (Esmorzar, dinar i sopar) Esmorzarem i farem l’excursió a les antigues capitals: Amarapura, Ava i Sagaing. A la primera, capital del segle xviii, hi veurem l’U Bein, el pont de fusta de teca més llarg del món, un taller de seda teixida a mà i el monestir de Mahagandayon, el més gran del país, on podrem conèixer els C/ de Muntaner, 327 -08021 BARCELONA- Tel: 93.343.52.00 [email protected] Facebook.com/barakaclub C/ del Camí Fondo, 14 -08221 TERRASSA- 93.784.56.00 [email protected] @barakaclub www.baraka.cat costums quotidians dels gairebé mil dos-cents monjos que hi viuen. Ens dirigirem a Ava, capital entre els segles xiv i xviii. Recorrerem la ciutat en carruatges de cavalls i anirem a conèixer l’antic monestir de Bagaya. Dinarem en un restaurant i visitarem el turó de Sagaing, espectacularment estampat per unes sis-centes pagodes i monestirs. Aquest màgic conjunt, que destil·la religiositat i misticisme, està considerat el centre religiós de Birmània per excel·lència. Dia 9: MANDALAY – MONIWA (Esmorzar, dinar i sopar) La ruta d’avui ens portarà a la ciutat colonial de Monywa, a la riba oriental del riu Chindwin. Després de creuar el riu Irauadi pel pont de nova construcció, i acompanyats de bous i gent que traginen tota mena d’objectes, passarem per llogarets de postal, on les cares somrients dels vilatans seran el bell record d’aquest fascinant trajecte. Ens instal·larem a l’hotel i, després de dinar, visitarem el magnífic conjunt de temples budistes que formen la pagoda Thanboddhay, amb una stupa que recorda la de Borobudur a Indonèsia. Construïda l’any 1303, en veurem la stupa principal, que està envoltada per més de vuit-centes petites stupas. En aquest recinte es troben prop de sis-centes mil imatges de Buda. Molt a prop, també visitarem la pagoda Boditahtaung, on podrem contemplar la segona estàtua de Buda més alta del món, després de la de Xina, amb 130 m d’alçada. Dia 10: MONYWA – PO WIN TAUNG – PAKKOKU – BAGAN (Esmorzar, dinar i sopar) Després d’esmorzar ens dirigirem cap a les coves de Po Win Taung, on visitarem aquest extraordinari complex, format per 947 coves tallades a la roca que contenen la més rica col·lecció d’estàtues i pintures murals budistes del sud-est asiàtic. Molt a prop veurem els temples i monestirs de Shwe Ban Taung, aixecats sobre estrets penya-segats. Prosseguirem el nostre itinerari per una de les vies menys transitades del país, però de les més autèntiques, al llarg de petites poblacions on copsarem com és la vida rural a Myanmar. Arribarem a Pakkoku, coneguda per l’elaboració de les millors sandàlies de cuir del país. Dinarem i ens traslladarem al moll, des d’on salparem en un vaixell, riu avall, fins a Bagan, una de les autèntiques meravelles del continent asiàtic. Ciutat ubicada sobre les àrides planures vora el riu Irauadi, al cor de Birmània, se’ns descobrirà com un dels més espectaculars i rics jaciments de tot Àsia.

Dr. Ed Krupp Director, Griffith Observatory “You can also get a lift at Bagan by ascending the observation tower more-or-less in the middle of the vast field of monuments.” “Mandalay was the last royal capital of Myanmar, and Mandalay Palace is oriented with the cardinal directions at the base of Mandalay Hill, directly to the north. Beyond the tower in the background, the king, in the Great Audience Hall, sat facing due east in his throne.” Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, Myanmar, is an extravagantly gold stupa and temple complex. Like all Buddhist stupas, it miniatur- izes a traditional concept of the cosmos into its architecture. Unlike other Buddhist stupas, however, it includes eight shrines for the planets, which are associated with the days of the week.

A la llegada, subiremos a un templo para obtener una buena panorámica de la zona arqueológica, que visitaremos a continuación: la Pagoda Shwezigon, una de las joyas de Bagan, con una historia de más de 900 años; el templo de Dhamayangyi, el más macizo y con el más fino trabajo de sus ladrillos; el templo de Ananda, del siglo XI.
