Myanmar Classic Tour 5 Days

After enjoying breakfast at your hotel, we'll head to Yangon airport for a short flight to Nyaung U (Bagan), where you'll be greeted and escorted by our local guide.

From there, we'll head to the gold leaf Shwezigon Pagoda to learn about Burmese Buddhist customs. Afterward, we'll visit the stunning Ananda Temple, admiring the beautiful view of the temples along the way.

Then, we'll explore the fascinating Manuha Temple, one of the earliest structures in Bagan, built in 1067 by captive Mon King Manuha. Inside, you'll see three images of seated Buddhas and an image of Buddha entering Nirvana.

Finally, we'll end our day by visiting the awe-inspiring Shwesandaw Pagoda, the second-tallest structure in Bagan. Take in the incredible sunset views surrounded by five terraces capped with a cylindrical stupa adorned with a sparkling umbrella.

We'll start the third day of this extended tour from Yangon by taking a morning flight to Inle Lake, where our guide and driver will meet you. From there, we'll take an hour-long drive from Heho to Nyaung Shwe, the gateway to this stunning lake.

Next, we'll board a motorboat to discover the mesmerizing views of Inle Lake. The calm waters, adorned with floating plants and fishing canoes, offer a picturesque backdrop against the dramatic mountain scenery. Don’t forget to capture this magical moment of the best Maymar classic tour! We'll observe the local leg-rowing fishermen and their floating gardens, constructed from water hyacinth, bamboo, and dirt, moored to the bottom of the lake.

Our exploration will then take us to Nga Hpe Chaung Monastery, home to ancient Shan Buddha Figures, and then to the beautiful Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda, where we'll witness five religious images of Buddha covered in gold leaf. Inle Lake is known for its unique crafts, so Asia Private Travels also makes stops at workshops to see firsthand how woven lotus silk products, boats, blacksmith and silversmith pieces, and cigars are made.
