DAY 1 ARRIVAL IN YANGON

Yangon, sometimes known as Rangoon, is Myanmar's largest city, most important
commercial center, and former capital. Despite its reputation as a booming Southeast Asian

country, the city's past colonial and religious influences have remained, creating a
completely unique experience.



The Shwedagon Pagoda is Yangon's and Myanmar's most important religious landmark, and
the trip to Myanmar is not complete without seeing this. The temple is covered in almost 40
tons of gold leaves and stands about 100 meters tall, forming a golden spire that dominates
the Yangon skyline. You'll enter by the eastern stairway, where vendors sell robes, offerings,
incense, and other interesting Buddhist items. You will be accompanied by a guide who will

explain all of the traditions and ceremonies of Burmese Buddhism.

DAY 2 FROM YANGON TO BAGAN

Take an early morning flight to Bagan to explore not just the city's iconic temples, but also
the culture and heritage of artisan craftwork. Before the crowds gather, go to Ananda

Temple and view for yourself one of the region's most important and beautiful monuments.
Then see the many other temples that dot the adjacent plains, most of which were

constructed during the golden era of the 9th-14th century. As you go, keep an eye out for
farmers and employees going about their daily routines.



Take a private boat trip along the Irrawaddy River in the afternoon, passing by villages,
fisherman, and other boats. As the sun sets over Bagan, have a beverage and unwind after

an exciting day of touring.

DAY 3 BAGAN

Your Bagan experience continues with another full day of activities. Begin your day with a
dawn hot air balloon flight over the countryside, temples, and the Irrawaddy. Arrive to the
lively Nyaung Oo Market after breakfast, where residents sell and buy a variety of food and
items. Then see the Shwezigon Pagoda, which was built in the 11th century. More temples,

monasteries, and monuments will be visited, as well as an opportunity to explore a
community and learn about local customs and lifestyles. This morning is flexible and might

include a brief side excursion to other lesser sites, depending on your preferences.



In the afternoon, take a horse cart ride through Bagan's biggest temple, Thatbyinnyu, and
the Dhammayangyi, which is famed for its unique brickwork. Finally, take one last look at

the sunset from a temple's upper terrace.

DAY 4 FROM BAGAN TO MANDALAY

Mandalay, Myanmar's second-largest city and a former royal capital, is noted for its historic,
timeless charm as well as its burgeoning energy. Mandalay, located on the banks of the
Irrawaddy River, is Myanmar's cultural capital, with a rich legacy of music, dance, and
theater.


Visit the Mahamuni Pagoda, which holds one of Myanmar's most iconic Buddha images,
after a one-hour trip into the city. Then proceed to the Kuthodaw Pagoda, which has 729
Buddhist marble slabs. Head south to the Kyauktawgyi Pagoda to see a massive Buddha
carved from a single block of marble. Finally, pay a visit to Mandalay's Shwenandaw

Monastery, the city's only surviving royal building, and marvel at the beautiful wood carvings
and 19th-century architecture.

DAY 5 SAGAING TO AVA TO AMARAPURA

Starting at Sagaing Hill, with its 600 ivory pagodas, 3,000 monks, and approximately 100
meditation sanctuaries, explore Amarapura, Ava, and Sagaing. Swan Oo Pon Nya Shin, U Min

Thone Sae, and Shwe Taung Oo Maw are among the pagodas you'll tour. Continue to
Sagaing's local market, then visit a tiny pottery hamlet to see the artisans at work. Then it's

on to Ava, which served as the capital from the 14th to the 18th century. Travel over the
river in a traditional horse carriage to the Bagaya Monastery, which is known for its intricate
wood carvings. Make a point of seeing the Nanmyint WatchTower, also known as the "Ava

Leaning Tower."



Head to Amarapura, the "City of Immortality," in the afternoon. Visit a silk weaving studio
first, then pay a visit to Mahagandayon Monastery, which is home to over 1,000 young

monks who are committed to hard study and discipline. Take in the sunset while strolling
over the U Bein Bridge, the world's longest teakwood bridge, which spans the Taungthaman
Lake for 1.2 kilometers. Return to Mandalay in the evening after a day of endless new sights.

DAY 6 FROM MANDALAY TO HEHO

Take a morning flight to Heho and then drive for an hour along a picturesque path to
Nyaung Shwe village, the Inle Lake's main entrance. Along the route, you'll come across
workshops that specialize in making traditional Shan paper and umbrellas. When you arrive
at the lake's edge, a brief orientation trip will show you around Nyaung Shwe's temples,
monasteries, and tea stores. Then take a private motorboat across Inle Lake. Take your time
to admire one of Myanmar's most beautiful landscapes as the hills and fishing boats fade
into the distance. You'll pass local Intha stilt cottages, local fishermen's boats, and floating

gardens.



After that, go to Nga Hpe Chaung Monastery, which has various Buddha statues and was
originally noted for its jumping cats. Proceed to the Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda, the region's
principal religious and ceremonial landmark, which has five gold-leafed revered Buddha
figures. You may even go to a local workshop to watch silk weavers, boat builders, cigar
makers, blacksmiths, and silversmiths at action if you're interested. A boat ride back to your

accommodation will round off the day.

DAY 7 INDEIN, FLY BACK TO YANGON

A one-hour boat journey will take you to Inle Lake's western shoreline. Before ascending a
hill to the Indein Pagoda complex, take a leisurely stroll around Indein's Pa-Oh hamlet.

Explore the remains of a stupa, which are surrounded by tropical flora and include an iconic
Buddha figure. Then return to the Inthar Heritage House to discover more about the region's

indigenous people's culture. Enjoy your final boat journey to Nyaung Shwe from your
lakeside accommodation. Then it's over to Heho Airport for your domestic trip to Yangon.

DAY 8 DEPART YANGON

Regrettably, your stay in Myanmar's lovely land has come to an end. Transfer to Yangon
International Airport, where you will check-in for your journey and say your goodbyes.

RESTAURANTS

Rangoon Tea House Yangon, Myanmar

Rangoon Tea House raises the bar for Burmese cuisine. It's excellent,
fairly priced, and stylishly designed. This freshly remodeled and
extended restaurant features a stylish, bright downstairs area as well
as a speakeasy-style upper area with comfortable seatin and a cocktail
bar. Rangoon Tea House is well-known for serving genuine Burmese

with a clean and welcoming atmosphere. The remarkable structure's
framework is made up of large teak pillars and beams, just like

a corner near the Eight-Faces Pagoda in New Bagan. Choose from a
wide range of Asian and European meals, like the roasted duck with
steamed whole fish and lemon sauce.

RESTAURANTS

Green Elephant Mandalay, Myanmar

Green Elephant is Mandalay's most opulent restaurant for a
traditional meal. It began in an abandoned Yangon garage with
the goal of blending Burmese food with Western standards of
service and cleanliness, and it is now part of a small network
with three locations around the nation. It's an oasis set within an
early 20th century colonial home with a bucolic garden, away
from the dust of the neighboring streets. Tealeaf salads, excellent

curries with soy paste, and moet-hin-karfish soup are authentic Burmese
delicacies. Menus in Thai and Chinese are also available, and all of the food
is prepared from vegetables grown in the restaurant's own garden.

MUST-EATS

Laphet

Myanmar is a tea-loving country. They don't just drink it; they
ferment the leaves and eat it as laphet, a meal that is so deeply
embedded in Myanmar culture that it is used in both legal and
religious processes. Laphet thoke is a popular salad that
contains fermented tea leaf. Instead of dessert, Myanmarese
dinners usually finish with laphet thoke, which combines laphet
with spices, cabbage, fried garlic, coconut, tomatoes, and fish sauce.

Mohinga

Mohinga is Myanmar's unofficial national cuisine,
consisting of fine round rice noodles
served in a savory, aromatic

fish-and-shallot-based soup, frequently topped
with banana tree pith.

Shwe Yin Aye

Consider a cold cup of sweetened coconut
milk with sticky rice, pandan-infused cendol noodles, tapioca

pearls, agar-agar powder, and sugar syrup. The ensemble is
completed with ice chunks and a slice of bread.

SOUVENIRS

Burmese Carpet

Myanmar is well-known for its lengthy carpentry heritage,
particularly in Mandalay. The carpets are finely trimmed and
patterned in gold and silver. Burmese carpets can be
geometric or contain Buddhist symbols and animals such as
elephants.

Longyi

Longyis are an elegant traditional outfit that may be worn
by both men and women. It's a huge silk sheet that you

wrap around your waist and wear like a skirt. For men and
women, the Longyi is fashioned differently. There are a

variety of silk patterns to pick from as well. Longyi may be
found at practically every market in Myanmar, from the
smallest hamlet to the largest metropolis.

Shan Handbags

Shan handbags are popular Myanmar souvenirs that are
known for their exquisite handwoven cotton and unique
patterns. With the influx of visitors, Shan people now sell a
wide range of handbags in a variety of sizes and patterns.
Tourists use them so frequently that they've virtually
become a cliché. They are excellent tiny Myanmar souvenirs
since they can be rolled up and stored in your luggage.
