Experience Yangon

Details

WHAT TO EXPECT ~

Explore the lively India Town market before hopping aboard the ‘circular railway’ commuter train as it weaves its way through waking neighbourhoods. Disembark at Hledan to visit the huge reclining Buddha at nearby Chaukhtatgyi Paya and, after lunch, go downtown to the ancient Sule Pagoda, where you can see fortune-tellers in the small rooms surrounding this highly significant site.

Continue to Mahabandoola Park and Burma’s Independence Monument, then walk along the river bank, past the Custom House, the Australian Embassy, the General Post Office and evocative The Strand Hotel built in 1901 for a well-earned refreshment. Next, make our way to visit Myanmar’s most iconic site: the majestic Shwedagon Pagoda and see the pagoda magically illuminated as night falls. The tour ends with a safe trip back to your hotel.
