Itinerary

Day 1

Welcome by our tour guide and Yangon sightseeing includes faded colonial down town and world famous Shwedagon Pagoda, the most venerable of all places of worship in South East Asia.

Day 2

Explore this ancient capital with immense collections of archeological treasure. Nothing in Southeast Asia comes close to the enormity and heritage that brings back the living reality of the sovereignty of Myanmar. With existing over 2000 stupas and pagodas sprawling along the bank of Ayeyarwaddy river.

Day 3

Myanmar has enormous significance to the people of Myanmar since it was the capital of their last Monarchy and has long been known as a centre of skilled craftsmanship supplied to the royal courts in former times. Sightseeing includes ancient teak palace, the life like Buddha image and some of the crafts working places.

Day 4

Day trip to Mt. Popa is the highlight for our today's excursion. This 1518 meter solitary peak is home of Myanmar's most powerful "NATS" - a collection of 37 magical spirits both feared and honored by some Myanmar people. The one-hour (777 steps) climb to the summit gives you the impressive view.

Day 5

Depart Mandalay on a private boat along the Ayeyarwaddy River to visit Mingun, a village on the west bank of the river. This 45 minute memorable journey gives visitors a fascinating experience. This Pagoda might now have been the World's Largest Pagoda. Unfortunately, the patron died before the construction was completed.

Day 6

One of the most picturesque spots in Southeast Asia, Inle Lake and surrounding region is an outstanding alternative to the historical sites of Bagan and Mandalay. Surrounded by hazy Blue Mountains, this lovely lake is home to the Intha people, who constructed villages on stilts over the surface of the lake and farm floating islands created from mud and reed. The Intha are also known for their unique leg rowing. Although Inle Lake and the leg-rowers are the most famous attraction in the region, there's more.

Day 7

Head back to airport at Heho and fly back to Yangon. In the afternoon, visit Bogyoke market browsing among the stalls for souvenirs shopping.

Day 8

Let's conclude our tour in this golden land by waving hands saying good bye!
