To get to Ava, you have to take a ferry. This ferry leaves once a foreigner boards and pays for the fare. Locals are allowed to board the boat for free. Horse carts are available in Ava to bring you around. In Ava, the most impressive sight is Bagaya Kyaung, a teakwood monastery constructed in the 17th century, which happily has not been restored nor renovated. With its detailed and intricate wood carvings, it is most beautiful teakwood monastery in Myanmar and perhaps in the whole world.
Me Nu Ok Kyaung, a brick and stucco monastery is, likewise a sight to behold.
