In the morning, you will be greeted at the hotel and then transferred to the Irrawaddy River jetty to begin your Myanmar Tour (bikes and helmets will be available there). The ferry boat will take you through the waterway to the western banks of the river, which is also the place to set off pedaling.
Our active journey will start with a visit to Myitche. There will be time to stop by the grand and colorful morning market here. You will also have the chance to visit a small village to see the process of weaving housewares from rattan (or cane) by the locals.
After that, visitors will start a 40-kilometer ride to Pakokku. The road will be plain and mostly on sealed tarmac. During the Burma Tour, you will be able to witness the local farmers planting, harvesting, or processing the crops (depending on the time of the year), and you will even have the chance to stop and have a chat with them.
You will be in Pakokku at midday and have a lunch break in a local restaurant.
To continue this short trip in Bagan, you will take a private boat back down the Irrawaddy River in the afternoon and reach Bagan after 2 hours. This is the time when you can put your feet up and marvel at the astonishing scene along the river. After arriving in Bagan, you will be taken back to the hotel.
