Enjoy private tour
and drive through downtown to explore the city center and its fabulous mix of
architecture and sites. The streets are filled with historical buildings many
of which have a faded colonial charm not seen elsewhere in Asia. You’ll start at
the post office – a lovely historic building, passing by Strand Hotel,
Mahabandoola Garden and Independence Monument along the way. Then visit famous
Chauk Htat Kyi, home to a 70-meter long reclining Buddha. The feet of the
statue carved with traditional symbols and often many locals gathering to pay
homage and pray. Nothing will prepare you for Shwedagon Pagoda, with its
glittering gold stupa. At the pagoda observe local pilgrims and monks offering
their devotions and enjoy the amazing sunset view at Shwedagon pagoda.
Morning flight to
Bagan, one of the most important archaeological sites in Asia. Begin our exploration by visiting a busy
local market and gain an insight into the bustling market atmosphere in Bagan.
You will spend the day exploring the architectural masterpieces of this amazing
town by visit to a diverse selection of the most important pagodas and temples.
Lunch at local restaurant. In the late
afternoon visit to the Sunset Hill and sit back relax and be amazed by the
beauty of Bagan as you watch the sun slowly set behind the ancient Pagodas.
More than just
temples, our tour introduces you to provide a great overview of Bagan's
history, culture and local lifestyles. Today see the real way of life for most
Myanmar people by visiting villages near Bagan to view the local
lifestyle. In the late afternoon
transfer to jetty where a private wooden river boat is waiting. Sitting under the shade or on the open-deck
you’ll be treated to fabulous views as you cruise down the Irrawaddy River to
Shwezigon Pagoda. A private boat tour on the river during sunset time will
hopefully show you a spectacular sunset.
After breakfast, drive the scenic route to Inle lake (about 5-6
hours) with private bus. On the way stop at some local villages and sightseeing. Upon arrival to Inle Lake – transfer to your
hotel.
Enjoy the full day tour by private boat in Inle lake. Visit the
Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda, the most holy religious site in southern Shan State. Be amazed by the local handicrafts, silk
weaving, wooden handlooms and traditional blacksmith methods along the way.
Visiting Inle Lake is not just about being on the water but also about
discovering the Shan and Intha villages on the banks of the river. Pass the
endless floating gardens, houses, monasteries built on stilts on the lake.
Proceed to Nampan village and see local cheroot factory (where the Burmese
cigars are made) and canoe carving.
Begin your day with a visit to the market, which rotates locations
every five days and where hill tribe people dressed in colorful, traditional
outfits. We continue our sightseeing in Inle Lake, maneuvering by boat though
long, scenic channels. We will visit the
fascinating village of Indein, with its complex of ancient shrines and stupas
and walk though exotic colonnades of stairways and shop stalls. We’ll visit the “long neck” tribal women, and
weaving and craft villages perched on stilts. See the lake’s unique “leg
rowers” – the Intha people row standing up with one leg wrapped around an oar.
It is a feast for the senses and a photographer’s dream.
Morning flight back
to Yangon. Then enjoy a visit to Scott Market, the sprawling 80-year-old
Market. At the market you will find a whole variety of interesting Burmese
souvenirs, from lacquer ware to gems & jewelry –fully experience the
Burmese market atmosphere! Drive through the city and observe the influences of
other cultures in the region. Intersperse in the tour are various religious
sites such as the St Mary's Cathedral, built in 1899, and the Buddhist
