E-Travel Myanmar crafted the perfect 10-day itinerary across Yangon, Inle Lake, Bagan, and Mandalay. The domestic flights between destinations maximized our time exploring rather than traveling. Our guide in Bagan, Aung, deserves special praise—his knowledge of temple history and best sunset viewing spots was exceptional. The hotel selections were spot-on, especially the lakeside accommodation in Inle. Outstanding value with their local connections and attention to detail.read less
