Largely undiscovered, the region to the south-east of Yangon is a veritable treasure trove of beautiful scenery, magnificent Buddhist payas and sleepy colonial towns. Predominately exploring Mon State, this overland journey commences in Yangon before visiting bustling Bago, the spectacular Golden Rock pagoda at Kyaiktiyo and charming Hpa-An, capital of neighbouring Kayin State. From Hpa-An visit the historic colonial town of Mawlamyaing, formerly the 19th century capital of British Burma, before relaxing for three nights by the beach at beautiful Ngwe Saung.
