Day 1: Mandalay – Yandaboo Village (L, D)
Mingalabar! Welcome to Mandalay, the city of great culture.
Today, transfer to the Shwe Kyat Yatt jetty at 9:00 am to embark on the board. Then we start our Myanmar tour downstream to Yandaboo Village, a little treasure on the bank of Irrawaddy River. Upon here, take a leisure walk along the riverside to enjoy the mesmerizing atmosphere of a tranquil village that leave you away from the hectic pace of the city’s life. If luckily, you will witness many local women carry big things on their head, and see water buffalos follow farmers to the field. How interesting is it?
Afterward, we will spend time to visit some families in the village to know more about the village’s famous production: clay potteries. You will have a chance to observe how people create pots, from small pots to the big ones to keep their food and water. An amazing opportunity for you today: why don’t you try your hands on making a pot under the guidance of the local artisan? This will help you gain authentic experience with so much exciting.
Later on, return to the board and then we continue sailing to Bagan. Tonight, overnight on board near Chindwin confluence.
