We loved our holiday in Myanmar.
Here is the itinerary put together for us by our Travel Agent.
We took 5 internal flights; Myanmar is surprisingly large, three times the size of Great Britain.
You will note we had lots of early starts and so we really enjoyed the three days relaxing at Ngapali Beach.
Our absolute highlights were Bagan and Inle Lake.
Feb 6th: Arrival Yangon. An evening visit to the famous Shwedagon Pagoda
Sunset at the Shwedagon Pagoda, Yangon |
Feb 7th: Yangon sightseeing
Tri shaw ride in Yangon |
Feb 8th: Yangon-Bagan (Flight 06:20/07:40 am) Bagan Sightseeing
Sunset in Bagan |
Feb 9th: Bagan sightseeing by bike
Feb 10th: A visit to Mt Popa & Evening sunset boat ride along the Ayeyarwaddy River
Feb 11: Bagan – Mandalay (07:35/08:05 am) Sightseeing Mandalay
Feb 12: Visit Amapura, Sagaing & Inwa
Feb 13: Boat trip to Mingun

Feb 15: A visit to Indein village
Feb 16: Heho – Thande (09:30/10:30 am) Transfer to Ngapali Beach

Feb 19: Thande-Yangon (13:45/14:35 am) cocktails & dinner at Strand Hotel

If time was short we’d reduce our time in Mandalay and/or we would have loved to have done the two-three day trek into Inle Lake. However as by this time some of us were sick, so maybe we were better off in smart hotels with nice bathrooms!
