How to travel in Myanmar
There are many options to travel in Myanmar. For those who doesn't have much time, prefer to take flights between one city to another.And we arrange as much as possible to see the life of people and to understand the culture. The flight tickets are not cheap. From Yangon to Mandalay one way will cost US 85 Dollars but it save time. With the car, it takes two whole days ( sixteen hours ) to reach Mandalay from Yangon. For those who have two weeks, three weeks and even four weeks time in Myanmar prefer to take car to travel around the country. Or mix the car with flight!!! To travel with car is slow but one can stop at anytime for the beautiful photos and can chat with locals. No rush. Some spent time in rice plantation to know how to plough, how to harvest and how to plant. It is fun. But the road condition here is not a perfect one. Roads need repair every year after monsoon season. Sometime six lane wide,smooth road and sometime dusty gravel road . You can always see beautiful girls re-constructing roads under sun. Old women waving hands. Children with curious eyes. But they all are happy with their lives. People in Myanmar are very very friendly and the are proud to be taken photos,easy to smile tourists and willing to help. This is the reason most people travel with car. Must visit places in Myanmar are Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay and Lake Inle. These are called classic tour.But if more time available, can visit to Golden Rock, Kalaw and Pindaya, Kakku near Taunggyi, Pyin Oo Lwin, Hsipaw, Monywa,and the beach. Some places cost a little more money to visit and these are Katha and Bahmo by train and boat from Mandalay, Namhsan by Jeep from Hsipaw. |
