To the north, the former royal capital – Mandalay, is a vibrant metropolis bursting with life, home to spectacular pagodas, an ancient teak monastery and the U Bein Bridge; the world’s longest teak bridge.
Take an unforgettable cruise along the Irrawaddy River to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Bagan. This mesmerizing archaeological zone features over 3,500 stupas, temples and monasteries with stunning panoramas as far as the eye can see. Temple hop your way around by bicycle, or for a bird’s eye view, take an unforgettable hot air balloon ride over the temple-studded plains.
