5 days, 4 nights with Myanmar Travel

4 DAYS / 3 NIGHTS - THE ROAD FROM MANDALAY TO MONYWA

(MANDALAY - AMARAPURA - SAGAING - MONYWA - PHO WIN DAUNG - MANDALAY )

 

DAY 1:  MANDALAY - AMARAPURA - MANDALAY
Upon arrival, proceed 
to the Mahamuni Pagoda, with its spectacular Buddha image covered in thick layers of gold leaf. Visit the Shwenandaw Monastery, noted for its exquisite wood carvings, Atumashi Monastery, the "Incomparable Monastery", and the Kuthodaw Pagoda known as the world's Biggest Book for its stone slabs of Buddhist scriptures. Finally drive up to Mandalay Hill, a vantage-point for panoramic view of the city. One famous song in Myanmar said "if you want to live long, you have to go Mandalay Hill".

Continue to Amarapura the "City of Immortals". Amarapura was the capital of upper Burma until 1850. As was the custom, most of the important wooden palaces and monasteries were taken down and transported to the new capital in Mandalay. Have a glimpse into a private house of hand weaving looms, where they produce silk and cotton textiles. Amarapura’s silk has a very unique pattern, sometimes; some patterns even take 3 months to finish a longyi. Have leisurely sunset walk on the U Bein teak wood bridge, which is over 150 years old. Overnight in Mandalay.

DAY 2:  MANDALAY - SAGAING - MONYWA

Early breakfast and before heading to Sagaing your guide will pick you up at the hotel to get started for an amazing morning experience.  Drive to 86th street for a walking tour of the surrounding streets. Mandalay is strategically located in Northern Myanmar, nearby the ruby, gold and jade mines and this has welcomed the merchants from China, India and Thailand who contributed to the jade market's flourishing.  Here you 

discover white, yellow and green jade which can  be found in all forms, from its raw, unpolished state to beautiful handcrafted jewelry.  Watch skilled craftsmen cut and polish the stones on wet saws and sellers and buyers involved in negotiating the best price. It is now the busiest time of the day! Before heading to Sagaing snack at one of the numerous tea shops. It is just  21 km to Sagaing Hills, a retreat for Buddhist devotees with numerous Pagodas, monasteries and nunneries. 

Continue to proceed to Monywa (appr. 3 hrs. drive), a typical Myanmar town located on the bank of the Chindwin River. In the afternoon visit the Hindu style Than Buddhay Temple, unique in all of Myanmar, beautifully decorated with the most beautiful stucco work in the country. Finally go for sunset to the Alantayar Pagoda, sight of the largest reclining Buddha image in all of South East Asia, over 600 feet in length. Overnight in Monywa.

DAY 3: MONYWA - PHO WIN DAUNG - MANDALAY

After breakfast - before you return to Mandalay visit the Pho Win Daung Caves as well as the Shwe Ba Daung Caves (West of Monywa, other bank of Chindwin river). After lunch time drive back to Mandalay and check into your hotel. Overnight in Mandalay.
