Irrawaddy Legend – a short trip will bring you to most beautiful sites of Myanmar. Moving from hectic city life which you explore by yourself in Yangon to the peaceful golden Stupa of Shwezigon Pagoda and the more than 4000 red brick temples in Bagan. Back to history, you will be brought back to the olden monastic building in Mandalay – Golden Monastery.
This can be called an exploration of cities as it brings you through three most famous cities in Myanmar. However, the atmosphere these cities offer is not just modernity and bustle but also relax and peace. You will start from the capital of Yangon. Known as the country's the most important commercial, Yangon is a mixture of old and new, colonial background and religious legacy next to new busy markets and shopping centers. Your highlight is a trip to Kyaukhtatgyi Pagoda to see a 70 meter long reclining Buddha statue around the size of a blue whale.
Bagan is the next destination with an ancient glamour that will appeal to you much. Visit Bagan’s most striking temples and various monuments positioned around Myinkaba village, take a walk through the village where you will also have the chance to examine the village itself as well as the local craftsmen, and enjoy the panoramic view of the immense plain of temples that is likely to make you enchanted.
Your fascinating tour of Mandalay will softly finish your Irrawaddy Legend journey with impressive structures and architecture of Burmese Pagodas. Seeing the monk silently walk in the sunset, you will deeply feel the true spirit of Southeast Asia here in this Buddha land. Returning to Yangon to again feel the difference among three famous cities, you are now not a foreigner in Myanmar anymore, after the trip, we are sure that you are not only familiar with Myanmar nature beauty and heritage, but also understand about the unique culture of this pretty country.
