Escape
Each chalet is surrounded by lavish gardens and has its own private veranda overlooking the mountain peak, the plains or the temple. Well-marked hiking trails lead up to the orchid-rich ancient crater or down to the temple, and horse treks through the forest to a natural spring can be arranged for about $10 an hour. Given the resort's isolation—it can get creepy at night—and reasonable prices elsewhere in Burma, $100 a night is somewhat steep. But once there, when compared with the heat and hard sell of Pagan, the cool breezes, beautiful views and tranquil setting feel priceless; fax (95-62) 70368 for reservations.
