Myanmar Biking – 8 Days
This 8-day Myanmar adventure tour will take you to the ancient temples from Mandalay to Bagan. The diversity and mystery of its people, culture, and topography make this cycling trip is a must for all challengers. The ancient temples, fields, and river valley in Bagan will be something that you will never forget.
On arrival at Mandalay International Airport, we will be welcomed by our local guide and transferred to the hotel. Mandalay, is a city founded in 1857 as the capital by King Mindon. After a short rest, we become acquainted with our bikes during the 2-hour visit to Mandalay Palace with finely built regal walls and a beautiful moat surrounding her fortress.
In the evening, we will have a welcome dinner in a nice local restaurant with fine Burma food. Overnight in Mandalay.

After lunchtime, a boat takes us downstream to Mandalay.
Later in the afternoon, we bike to Amarapura, the ancient capital of the Konbaung Dynasty, and the U Bein Bridge, the world’s longest Teakwood Bridge (1208 meters long).

After breakfast at the hotel, we transfer to Nyaung U Airport and take a flight back to the former capital Yangon. We’ll get transferred by car back to the city center of Yangon. After checking in at the hotel, we take a short walking tour through two fabulously diverse and vibrant neighborhoods of Yangon, which are Chinatown and Little India. We will see street markets, snack vendors, and many places of worship as we walk along the street.
In the afternoon, we stop at Bogyoke Market, known as Scott’s Market (Closed on Mondays and Public Holidays), to browse through the dozens of stalls and shops. This is Yangon’s best market for handicrafts and other goods. (Note: the market is closed on Mondays and the gazette holidays). From here, we continue to Shwedagon Pagoda the most revered Buddhist temple in Myanmar. Enjoy breathtaking views of the golden stupa from this vantage point. We spend the night in Yangon.
