Central Burma Holidays

Defined by the mighty Irrawaddy River, central Burma is home to some of the country’s most important cultural and historical treasures. Mandalay is the principle city of the region and base to explore a host of exceptional sites including Mahamuni Paya, Mingun, the remains at Inwa and 18th century capital of Amarapura. From Mandalay there are a host of cruises with departures heading south on the Irrawaddy to Bagan and Yangon or north on the remote Chindwin. From Mandalay it is possible to visit the colonial hill station of Maymyo but most travel to see the pagodas of Bagan – a highlight of any visit – or the floating homes and gardens of scenic Inle Lake. Close to Inle Lake are the Buddha images at Pindaya, minority villages surrounding hill station Kalaw and little-visited Loikaw. With our knowledge and experience we can help to create a unique holiday to central Burma that is tailored exactly to your requirements.
