The Kakku Pagodas, also known as the Kakku Stupa Complex, are a collection of over 2,000 ancient stupas and temples located in the Shan State of Myanmar (Burma). The complex is located in the remote Taunggyi Township and is considered to be one of the most important Buddhist religious sites in Myanmar. The pagodas and temples are believed to have been built between the 14th and 18th centuries, making them some of the oldest structures in the country.

The stupas and temples in the Kakku Pagoda Complex are known for their unique architecture and intricate carvings. They are built from brick and covered in a layer of stucco, which was then carved with intricate designs and sculptures. The stupas themselves are dome-shaped structures that typically contain Buddhist relics or sacred texts.

In addition to the stupas and temples, the Kakku Pagoda Complex also includes a number of monasteries and meditation centers, where monks and nuns can live and study. These monasteries are typically surrounded by beautiful gardens and are considered to be some of the most peaceful and serene places in Myanmar.
