Essential Myanmar - 8 Days / 7 Nights

With splendid colonial architecture, emerging beach destinations and more temples than tourists, Myanmar is really is a golden land for travelers.

A history's rich and enchanting culture and a fascinating history combined with the warmest and most welcoming people you will ever meet should make a Burma tour top of everyone's wish list.

In Rangoon you find a beguiling but crumbling city with its past and present clearly on display and in equal disarray. We will show you the   sparkling Shwedagon Pagoda as well as a few of the teashops and lesser known temples. You will have time to wander in the oriental bazaars to rummage for Burmese handicrafts.

A flight north will bring you to ancient capital of Bagan, one of the most preeminent historical religious sites in Southeast Asia. Awe at the sheer majesty of Bagan with the thousands of pagodas and stupas sprawled across the wide expanse of plains and at dawn and dusk, enjoy the glorious view of hues of gold reflecting off the gilded domes as you ride on horse-driven carriages or sail in the air on a hot-air balloon.

Mandalay boasts of numerous monasteries and pagodas. Witness the great display of spiritual reverence as locals pay homage to venerated Buddha statues. Explore the ancient capitals of Amarapur, Ava and Sagaing in the proximity and trek across the longest teak bridge in the world at U Bein Bridge.

At Heho, we will bring you to Inle Lake, home to the Intha fishermen and their extraordinary one-legged boat rowing techniques. Staying by the lakeside at Treasure Resort, you will immerse in the serendipity of Inle Lake while gaining an insight into the traditional crafts of lacquering and cigarette making.
