Day 1: Arrival in Yangon (D)
You can arrive any time before 3:00 pm today. A driver will meet you on arrival and bring you to the hotel. We meet in the late afternoon for a briefing, followed by a visit to the most important religious monument in Myanmar, the Shwedagon Pagoda. We learn about the intricate history and significance of this towering, gold covered Pagoda and enjoy an unforgettable sunset here. A delicious Burmese dinner awaits.
Day 2: Yangon – Fly to Inle Lake (B/L)
After an early morning walking tour of downtown Yangon, we take a late morning flight to Heho and a short drive onto Nyang Shwe, the main Inle Lake Town. We will be staying on the dry land next to the lake rather than on it. This gives you freedom to explore the area by bike in the afternoon with your guide.
Day 3: Bike & Boat Inle Lake 25 km (B/L)
We take a ride around the area to learn a little about the local culture and the farming habits of the people here. We then cycle along the western bank of the lake, before taking a boat trip on the lake itself. Here we will see leg-rowing fishermen, silk weaving, silversmiths and whole communities that exist in stilt houses on the lake. Everything from schools, shops, even basketball courts can be found out here, all within a short boat ride of each other.

Day 4: Cycle to Indein 25km, Transfer to Kalaw (B/L/D)
Today we make our way into the Shan Hills but not without one last ride along the lake where we’ll have little traffic and the chance to see local villages and perhaps even a rotating market. We’ll pack up the bikes and drive 2 hours to Kalaw, a former British Hill Station and home to an astounding mix of people, from descendants of Gurkha soldiers, to Bangladeshi immigrants, ethnic Pao O and Burmese. All share this picturesque setting with a small, but fascinating market at its center. We explore the market on foot and then if you wish, jump back on the bikes for a pedal around the town to see some of the remaining British influenced buildings. The Shan Hills are noted for their fresh produce and tonight you’ll have a chance to try it at a family run restaurant.

Day 5: Kalaw -Trek to Elephant Sanctuary (B/L/D)
After a short drive, we start our walk on well-worn trails through the forest. We pass small villages as we descend, eventually arriving at the Elephant Sanctuary. Here a dedicated team has established a natural reserve for working Elephants to retire to. The sanctuary, in its third year of operation, also serves as a reforestation project to provide further habitat to the elephants. We take a walk here and hope to see some of the residents. After spending some time with these majestic creatures, we have lunch at the sanctuary HQ and then return to Kalaw by car.

Day 6: Kalaw – Fly to Mandalay (B)
Mandalay was the last royal capital of Myanmar and was the first city to be ransacked by the advancing British forces. The former Royal complex was destroyed in a fire during World War II, but you can still see the impressive walls and moat. The city of Mandalay is now a bustling commercial center with fascinating local markets. We touch down in the late morning and then have the afternoon to wander on foot and explore the town.
Day 7: Cycle the Mandalay Countryside 20 km (B/L)
We take a bike ride beyond the bustle of Mandalay to see the villages that exist around the periphery. Here we find a peaceful way of life, centered around the cycle of the farming seasons and traditional life. In the dry season, while the land lays fallow, the villagers dedicate their time to traditional crafts such as making robes for monks, snacks to sell in the market or other skills that have been passed down to them. After lunch, the rest of the day is free for you to relax and enjoy the pool or explore on your own.

Day 8: Cycle to U Bein Bridge 25 km, Transfer to Myingyan (B/D)
We take to the bikes and ride the back trails of the Mandalay region this morning. We pass by ruined pagodas dating back to the heyday of Amarapura and we discover the Muslim enclave that is home to the descendants of Mayor U Bein who built the longest teakwood bridge in the world. We finish at this bridge where we have lunch before driving onto Myingyan, a small town of little note, but perfectly located for us to break our journey for the night.

I am going to be on vacation in Myanmar in September. Still have to do some works, concerning about Internet access in Myanmar.

In fact, Internet seems to be not reliable in Myanmar. Although you can find internet connection in some big hotels, restaurants or tourist sites, the speed is quite low and some popular websites such as Facebook, Gmail can be blocked.

I will set off on Myanmar tour with my husband and 2 kids on December. What standard of accommodation for family vacations in Myanmar can I expect?
at 3:08 pm
We offer a good selection of accommodations in Myanmar from 3 stars to 5 star standards. Because you take a trip with your children, it is better to consider the hotels with pool. All of the accommodation we suggested is clean, comfortable and safe.

I have just visited Myanmar with my family in September. We were very surprised as we saw a resident kowtowing his mother. We didn’t know what was happening.

Who manages the family budget in Myanmar?
at 9:25 am
In Burmese family, wives are those who manage the budget of their family. Their husbands usually hands his earnings over to the wife, so that she can “make it home” or do her own small business.

How many generations live under one home in Myanmar? We just got back from Myanmar on a family tour last week. On my trip, I saw that many people living in a family, which really differs from my country’s culture.
at 10:48 am
Three generations of Burmese live together under the same home. If family members do not live in the same house, they usually live near each other to take care of each other.

On my Myanmar family trip, we noticed that women are not allowed to head into the Pagoda. It doesn’t make sense, I contend that they deserve to get equal right with the men.
at 3:20 pm
What you guys saw was really true. Due to the hierarchy of Buddhism, women are excluded from certain areas of religious buildings, such as the middle platform of the Pagodas.
at 8:44 am
We took the 14 day Myanmar family tour with your company, and we really had good time in this beautiful country. Thank a bunch for designing the tour. However, I can’t understand why women always walk behind their husband. Any explanations?
at 11:59 am
The husband is considered the spiritual head of the Myanmar households; therefore, women let men take the lead and often follow behind their husbands or father in public. Hope my answer helps!
at 6:27 am
My family with 2 kids (one 8 year old, and the other 12 year old) is planning to take a family tour in Myanmar for 14 day. But, I am wondering that whether kids are allowed to visit Pagodas in Myanmar or not?
at 9:14 am
Yes of course. They are allowed to visit religious sites. You don’t need to worry about that.
at 3:57 pm
My family is planning to visit Myanmar next summer. But I don’t know the best time of the day to visit Pagoda?
at 4:42 pm
Touring pagodas in the early morning or late afternoon is highly recommended as it is cool at these moments. Don’t forget to bring along wet towers to wipe your feet after each visit.
at 9:04 am
I and my parents are planning to take a one-week family tour to Myanmar. However, my parents are over 60, I am afraid that they will not be able to trek up a high mountain to visit pagodas. Are there any kinds of transport which could take them to the top of the mountain? Thank you in advance!
at 11:38 am
Despite a number of pagodas sitting on the top of the mountain, they have not been equipped with cable car yet. Instead, a number of trucks with special design will help visitor reach the top of the mountain. Hope you and your beloved could have a nice trip in Myanmar!
