Itinerary
We meet at the hotel reception at 18.00 for a welcome meet and greet. This city is no longer the capital of Myanmar, but is still by far the largest and most important in the country. And as soon as you start exploring you'll see why. There's a lot to do today, if yo...
There’s no chance you’ve exhausted all the things this city has to offer. After your included breakfast, head out for another Yangon adventure. If you haven’t already noticed there’s a massive golden pagoda that dominates this skyline (Shwedagon Pagoda). This is wor...
In the morning we hop on a flight and head over to Mandalay. This place was also once a capital, and boasts incredible sights. At first it may seem like a concrete jungle, but as soon as you get below the surface and see some of the incredible relics you’ll not want t...
After Breakfasts its time to put your exploring shoes on again. Today is a great day for a trip to the outskirts of Mandalay. Amarapuru is the hub for all sorts of structures and sights including the U Bein Bridge. It’s best to head there first thing in the morning to...
We leave in the morning to Bagan with a few cultural stops along the way. We'll stop by an unspoilt town famous as a tobacco trading centre and for its weaving shops. Later on there are famous pagodas in Pakokku. Visit local market and a cheroot factory, and contin...
This is the money shot. Get up at sunrise, board a hot air balloon and see the morning mist unveil a beautiful stupa littered landscape. There’s no place like it. The most dense and largest concentration of Buddhist temples in the world. Roam around today seeing some ...
Depart Bagan early morning for a full day's drive to Kalaw. This is undoubtedly one of the most scenic drives in Myanmar. Not far from Bagan, we’ll stop off for at Mount Popa, it's an energetic climb, but the stunning view make it well worth it. From here onwards, the road to Kalaw is very bumpy but the scenery is wonderful - endless paddy fields and rolling hills.
This is where real rural Myanmar Lies. We take a trek up through local villages and local markets, and witness some of the traditional tribal life. Experience beautiful fresh food, learn about the local spiritual belief, and see some splendid caves. We will spend the evening back in Kalaw.
No trip in Myanmar is complete without a visit to Inle Lake. This is one of the largest in the country and boasts some exceptionally exotic animals and plant life. Today you’ll have time to take a boat trip and see some of the local life at the floating villages and visit the huge Phaung Daw Oo pagoda complex. Return to your hotel in the evening where you can enjoy the cooler temperatures.
Another beautiful day on the lake! You’d be a fool not to take a boat trip today. Take a boat trip and get close to all the floating flowers, the fishermen and possibly catch the rotating market. One of the highlights of this trip is the ancient monastery on the river...
