About This Trip

This 9-day tour will show you the best of Myanmar. Start your trip off right by seeing some of Yangon's magnificent pagodas, including the city's holiest, the Shwedagon Pagoda. Bagan is home to some of this country's oldest stupas. You can view them from a vantage point as the sun goes down. Seeing the sun's golden rays sweep across the monuments would be an unforgettable experience. Enjoy a boat ride on Inle Lake and look around at the beautiful scenery. The view from the top of Mandalay Hill is breathtaking, and you can take it in as soon as you arrive in the city. Visiting a monastery and conversing with the monks is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the Buddhist faith in its traditional form.
