Suggested Day Trips
Explore the colorful countryside surrounding the busy city of Yangon. Travel by ferry across the Yangon River to the town of Dhala where a trishaw ride exposes the natural beauty and local customs of this rural town.
Immerse yourself in the local culture with this day trip around Bagan. Start with a visit to the Ngat Pyit Monastery to visit the ancient spiritual caves before stopping at the village primary school. Interacting with the students is sure to bring a smile to your face. Travel to Nyaung U village to learn about the traditional crafts such as lacquerware, bullock carts, and jam making.
End your trip with a night at...
The Strand, once regarded as 'the finest hostelry east of Suez' has long been recognized as one of Yangon's landmarks. The hotel's Victorian influence is visible from the colonnaded entranceway. Inside spells the same story with marble floors inlaid with teak, rattan furniture, potted palms, chandeliers and black-lacquered ceiling fans.
For those seeking luxurious, yet charming accommodation in the heart of Yangon, look no further than The Savoy. With the magnificent Shwedagon Pagoda in the background and colonial style buildings, a stay at The Savoy transfers you back to the days of Hemingway.
