BURMA, at Last!

During the trip we will visit Myanmar Yangon, Kyaiktiyo, Mandalay, Bagan and Inle Lake. In Yangon, you'll visit the famous Shwe Dagon pagoda. The golden rock Kyaiktiyo Mandalay and the ancient capital are special places. Biking is an ideal way to explore the thousands of pagodas in Bagan and to admire Inle Lake by boat. We spend a relaxing end to our trip at Ngwe Saung Beach.  Join international groups with active Dutch, Belgian and North American travelers of all ages.

TRANSPORT: Transport in Myanmar takes place with a local bus. On some days we travel for a whole day, not only because there is considerable distance to cover, but also because there is so much to see. We make regular stops in villages, at markets, sightseeing or just somewhere in the countryside. We also make two internal flights from Yangon to Inle, respectively, and from Bagan to Yangon flying with Yangon Airways.
LODGINGS: During our tours we use comfortable hotel with a nice atmosphere and good location.  Most hotels have air conditioning. The higher villages such as Kalaw and Inle Lake are cooler than the lowlands and is therefore need no air conditioning.
