This itinerary is an example. It’s designed to inspire you and provide you with thoughtfully curated ideas. You can choose to do this exact itinerary or completely personalize it. All trips are 100% bespoke.

Highlights

  • Temples Galore: Myanmar's deep spirituality can be felt - and seen, everywhere. A temple can be found a stone's throw away no matter where you are. From the large gilded Shwedagon Pagoda that stands proudly in the middle of Yangon to the thousands of temples in Bagan and humble wooden pagodas at Inle Lake.
  • Ballooning over Bagan: What could possible top the experience of marveling at Bagan's temple-studden plains slowly from above on a hot-air balloon? Answer: Doing it at sunrise. Watching the dawn break over the horizon and its light unfurl majestically across the land and temples below.
  • Ethnic Diversity: Although the Burmese are now the majority ethnic group in Myanmar, it wasn't always that way. This diverse nation has 135 distinct ethnic group that are sprawled across the land. At Inle Lake, visit several villages and meet a few of the ethnic minorities.
  • Village Life: Despite modernizations in the major cities, village life is the reality for the vast majority who live outside of these cities. In many respects, a Myanmarian farmer and his wife still live in the way their forefathers did, working with oxen yoked to ploughs. As Myanmar's development accelerates, this way of life will diminish. For the time being, you can visit and see the authentic rural village life as it is and has been for generations.

Day-by-Day

Day 1

Yangon

Your 10-day classic journey begins in the capital, Yangon. Upon arrival at the airport, you will be met and transferred to your hotel to check in and freshen up. This afternoon, get acquainted with the city formerly known as Rangoon on a colonial architecture walking tour. Myanmar became a colony of Britain in 1824 and remained so until 1948, leaving behind the highest concentration of colonial buildings in the world. Though many of these beautiful structures now stand in disrepair, they are still stunning and tell of the history they have seen over the years, including colonial control, a Japanese invasion, military rule, and the struggle for peace. In the late afternoon enjoy sunset over Shwedagon Pagoda’s beautiful golden spires. It is said four Buddhist relics that belonged to previous incarnations of Buddha are preserved at this sacred temple.

Have a light breakfast at the hotel and save room for a crash course in Burmese cuisine this morning. Led by a local expert on the streetfood scene, roam the city's favorite haunts on rickshaw and sample signature dishes such as tea leaf salad, mohinga rice noodles, homemade tofu, and a plethora of curries. Walk it all off with visits to popular temples, Botataung Pagoda and Chauk Htat Gyi Pagoda, followed by a local nunnery where families admit their young daughters to become nuns. Speak to the studious students to learn about their daily chores and lessons. Stop at the busy Bogyoke Aung Sun market, also known as Scott's market, where you’ll find local tea, silk, and rattan products. Finally, have your fortune read at the fortune-telling pagoda before ruminating your newly-revealed, if not slightly vague, fates over snacks and sights in Chinatown.

Day 3

Bagan

Travel to the old capital of Bagan early this morning, landing at an airport that is barely more than an air strip and humble terminal building. Bagan has an intriguing history, and here you’ll see it unravelled in its architecture. You will be traveling between the temples by electric bicycle, arguably the best way to enjoy the serene atmosphere and hundreds of small and large pagodas littered everywhere you look. After this fascinating tour through the old city, check into your hotel in Bagan.

Day 4

Bagan

Get up early today for a sunrise hot-air balloon ride, available in from October to April. This unforgettable experience allows you to appreciate the true extent of Bagan’s beauty, its thousands of temples and its serene countryside. After breakfast back at the hotel and time to rest, head back out to see Bagan's signature sites such as Ananda Temple, Shwezigon Pagoda, and the Minnanthu village temples. Ananda Temple was built nearly a thousand years ago and features a spectacular gold spire and four standing Buddha statues. Shwezigon Pagoda was constructed for Theravada Buddhism, with its immense circular gold-leafed stupa, one of Bagan’s most compelling and iconic sights. At Minnanthu Village, learn about their staple handicrafts, lacquerware. Lacquer is naturally skillful work. In Bagan, artisans laboriously coat 7-16 layers of lacquer over a frame made using bamboo strips, wood, or horse hair. This profession is practiced by families in Bagan for generations.

Mandalay

Start the day with a short trip to Amarapura, a former capital of Myanmar which is now a part of Mandalay city, a result of urban sprawl. Regardless, Amarapura remains distinctively its own town and is known for its traditional silk and cotton weaving in the indigenous Burmese style of achiek textile. Also visit the nearby town of Inwa, another ancient imperial capital. Though much of it was destroyed by a series of major earthquakes, the remaining traces of its former grandeur can still be observed. Then, visit a couple of stunning monasteries built entirely of teak wood and renowned for the quality of wood carvings and harmonious layout, Shwe in Bin and Shwenandaw Kyaung.

As you explore the lake, you will see one of Inle's unique sights: fishermen who use their legs to row their boats. These leg rowers expertly use one leg to row their boats so their hands are freed up for fishing. They use a special fishing net draped over a bamboo cone frame which they quickly plunge down into the water, trapping large fish.
