Kalaw's lofty location was perfect for a hill station for colonial Brits, and it still retains an atmosphere reminiscent of the colonial era. There's a lot of interesting temples and stupas throughout the town and in the surrounding hills. The hilltop Thein Taung Paya and the glittering stupa of Aung Chang Tha Zedi are two of the most impressive. We will of course, visit these, along with several others.

Today you will get to see the famous one-legged rowers on Inle Lake!

This is no ordinary lake though. Inle is an enchanting world of villages on stilts and gardens that float on the surface of the lake. One of the most photographed sights is the skilled Intha fishermen who balance on one leg, while using the other to manoeuvre the oar.

Take a relaxing boat ride across Inle Lake, stopping to see these sights along with some pagodas and lakeside villages.

After breakfast, your guide will meet you at your hotel for your private transfer to Heho airport.

On arrival at Mandalay, enjoy a city sightseeing. Mandalay, the name alone evokes the romance of old colonial Burma.

Visit Mahamuni Paya, famous for its seated Buddha covered in gold leaf. Wander into a workshop to see muscled workers hand-beating gold leaf with enormous hammers.

At Shwenandaw Kyaung, made entirely out of teak (even though it's also known as the Golden Teak Monastery), you will be able to see the beautifully intricate carvings and so much more incredible sights, and learn tonnes of history about the old kings of Myanmar.

Today's Highlights: Boat to Mingun, Mingun Bell, Hsinbyume Paya, U Bein Bridge.

Just a boat ride away along the Ayeyarwaddy River is the little town of Mingun, which boasts some of the most impressive pagodas in Myanmar.

Mingun Paya ruins are just so extensive, an unfinished site with modern pagodas. Visit the Mingun Bell, a 13-foot tall bronze bell.

Visit Sagaing, known as Myanmar's spiritual centre. Also known as a 'living Bagan', it is home to hundreds of stupas, monasteries, temples and nunneries. Visit some of the most famous temples, especially, on and around Sagaing Hill.

In the evening, visit U-Bein's Bridge for sunset. The shallow Taungthaman Lake is crossed by a famous 1.2 km long weathered teak footbridge (longest teak bridge in the world) known as the U Bein Bridge, curved to withstand the wind and waves.

Today's Highlights: Shwezigon Paya, Gubyaukhyi Temple at Wetkyi-Inn, Ananda Pahto, Gubyaukhyi Temple at Myinkaba, Manuha Temple, Shwesandaw Paya.

Today, proceed to Bagan, a true bucket-list destination!

Thousands of crumbling temples, pagodas and stupas rise from the ancient desert plain. These beautiful, other-worldly structures were built by the kings of Bagan in the 11th and 12th centuries. Words don't do this incredible landscape justice so let's get out there and see them for ourselves.

2-night accommodation in a standard room on B&B basis at Zfreeti Hotel, Bagan.

Today's Highlights: Mahabodhi Temple, Dhamayangi Temple, Sulamani Temple, Nandamannya Temple, Thatbyinnyu Temple.

Locals believe that the Dhamayangi Temple is haunted.

Legends and stories surround the colossal temple, telling of a cruel king, murder and bloodshed. Let's explore its long narrow corridors and come to our conclusions...

Visit many other of the Bagan temples. While we can't promise they all have such colourful pasts, we do guarantee that they are just as impressive and beautiful.

Take a break from the rhythms of modern life and explore some neighbouring temples in an old-fashioned horse drawn buggy in the evening at sunset. (The duration of the horse ride is approximately 1 hour only).
