During this full day tour we show you the different faces of Yangon. During the day, you visit the Sule Pagoda, colonial downtown, the harbor, ‘The Strand’ for a drink, and one of the colourful local markets. Shwedagon Pagoda will be visited just before taking a tasteful lunch of typical dishes from tribes from all over the country such as Kachin, Shan and Rakhine. (own account).

We start the day climbing a pagoda to get a first impressive view over the whole area. From here the guide plans his way to some of the other amazing temples that have been here for hundreds of years. Places like the Ananda, Dhammayangyi, Sulamani, and Thatbyinnyu will certainly impress you. Around 4pm we continue the tour by horse cart to Pyathagyi pagoda for sunset.

Day – (4)   Bagan Full Day Sightseeing                               

 Minnanthu is probably the favorite temple area amongst frequent Bagan visitors and you know why? It’s quiet, it’s a beautiful area and the temples here are often completely deserted. The guide brings you by car to this forgotten part of Bagan and will spread out a blanket and serve you a great picnic lunch (own account) in this historical setting before or after visiting 2 or 3 ancient temples ruins in this area. The rest of the day the car and guide are available for additional visits of the temples till 6 pm if wanted.

 Mount Popa is one of the places to be visited in the surroundings of Bagan as it is the birth place of the 37 “nats” of Myanmar which are the protective spirits. We will steer you away from the normal trodden paths and visit today also the country side including a temple in Minnanthu area, rural village life in Shwe Si Tine village as well as the fruit and flower market and plantations near Popa.

Inle Lake in southern Shan State is a vast natural lake surrounded by traditional Shan villages. On the lake, itself the Intha people have been living for many centuries in villages built entirely on stilts. Today you ride a private motorboat around the lake. Discover its natural beauty, visit the floating gardens, see some of the famous leg rowers, and have a cup of tea at a local family’s house. On and around the lake, traditional markets are held in different villages according to a 5-day rotating schedule. Today we take you to visit one of these colorful markets frequented by Shan and PaO people. We certainly also visit a local cheroot factory (where the Burmese cigars are made), floating tomato gardens, Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda – and if wanted, we visit a weaving factory.

Day – (7)  Inle Lake – Indein – Inle Lake                                        

 In the south of the lake the ruins of Indein are certainly worth a visit. Partly covered by vegetation the area looks like a pagoda forest. We walk about 1 hour to enjoy a fantastic view over the lake. A homemade cooked lunch is served by a local family in their house. We continue towards the Nam Pan village for a very interesting trip going local with a small canoe. Whenever you are tired peddling yourself we continue by motorboat back to your hotel.
