Day 2: Bagan

Fly to Bagan where the temples are a sight to behold with more than 2,000 dotted around the plains. As the former royal kingdom grew in size and its rulers in wealth, a massive building phase began.  Over a two hundred year period, some 10,000 stupas, pagodas and mona...

Day 3:    Bagan – River Trip

Travel by boat to the island of Kyun Thiri located in the middle of the Irrawaddy River and visit a typical farming community. Learn about life on the land, and meet the locals over a cup of tea and a chat at a monastery.  It’s not all about temples as Bagan is renown...

Day 4:    Mandalay – Sagaing – Inwa – Amarapura

Fly to Mandalay and the gateway to the ancient capitals of Sagaing, Inwa and Amarapura. Starting with Sagaing, this former royal city is known as the centre of Buddhism in Myanmar. Visit one of the many monasteries perched on a hill top for impressive views across the...

Day 5:    Mingun  - Mandalay

Day 6: Inle Lake               

Fly to Heho and travel about an hour through picture-postcard scenery to reach Inle Lake. Get your first glimpses of daily life on the water, travelling by long tail boat to nearby villages and pagodas. Pass by floating gardens and see the fisherman using one leg to r...

Day 7: Inle Lake – Indein

Tucked away on a far bank on the western shore is Indein, a small patch of crumbling stupas from the 17th century.  Walk up the main stairs flanked with vendors selling postcards, puppets and wood carvings to reach the top and views out to the nearby village. While so...
