Conquer 777 Steps to Mt Popa's Taung Kalat [Earn FitBit Badges too!]

Hello World!

777 steps sounds like a great deal to take on to visit a monastery perched on top of a hill. In reality, it's really less daunting that it appears. I was expecting a lot more steps when I reached the peak and could really do another 777 more! (No kidding!)

The monkeys along the climb and the shopping were good distraction to make me forget about the number of steps to overcome.

At the Taung Kalat Monastery, I was dazzled by the spectacular arrays of pagodas (Below) gleaming under the full midday sun. I took my time to breathe, meditate and shoot some photos.

For a couch potato unmotivated to move my butt, I was truly surprised to receive THREE Fitbit badges for my efforts! 🌈🌈🌈

Spiritually and emotionally, I have been richly rewarded with peace and joy emanating from deep within. What is 777 steps compared to joy from the heart? The number is a lie. Don't let it fool you from enjoying the climb.

I hope you enjoyed my little sharing! 🙏
