MYANMAR HIGHLIGHTS - 6 days/ 5 nights (YPM)

 

Yangon / Bagan / Mandalay / Inle Lake / Yangon

 

Private Tour - daily departure

 

Our Myanmar Highlights features a remarkable journey to this mysterious country, offering our guests a heavy dose of its timeless culture, scenic beauty and magnificent ancient architectures. In Myanmar, there is more magic and mystery in the air than anywhere else in Asia. To this day Myanmar remains one of the most mysterious and undiscovered destinations in the world. A land of breathtaking beauty and charm yet only recently emerging into the modern world.

 

Your Myanmar voyage begins in Yangon, Myanmar's charming capital, also known as the Garden City of the East. Its unmistakably colonial style buildings, open markets and wide tree-lined avenues endow it with a strange mix of old world charm and modern vitality. The highlight of the cityscape is the famous Shwedagon Pagoda, the world's largest and most impressive Buddhist pagoda. We then bring you to Bagan, birthplace of the Myanmar civilization and the largest archaeological site in Asia, home to more than 5000 pagodas.

 

Then, continue on to Mandalay, a city more distinguished and self-confident than any other city in Myanmar,  providing a unique mixture of old and new. This spiritual centre boasts numerous old wooden monasteries and unique pagodas that date back to life under the reign of Myanmar's last King. Next, prepare yourself to an unforgettable experience to Inle Lake, a place indescribable by words, with villages of bamboo and wooden dwellings situated in the midst of the lake, perched on stilts, and boats being the sole means of transport. Overnight at an enchanting bungalow-style resort built on stilts each furnished with balconies overlooking the lake.
