Itinerary
Our exciting 2-day Burma tour will start at 8:30 in the morning. Our tour guide and driver will meet you in the lobby of your hotel to take you to Monywa.
First, we'll drive for about an hour to the quiet town of Pakkoku, which is on the other side of the Irrawaddy River.
Then, the next stop of this Myanmar Tour will be the "Ma Ahu Ale Ywa" village, which is often called "a little Bagan" because it has a group of pagodas that are more than a thousand years old.
Visit the nearby monastery to see the unique wood carving of Buddha's status that took a father and son many years to complete. You may go to a local house that makes traditional handmade slippers if you like.
Continue the Bagan Tour to Mandalay by driving to Monywa for a lunch break (the meal is on your own account) and checking into a hotel for a quick rest to escape the heat before the afternoon trip.
The Buddhist cave complex of Pho Win Taung temple is on the west side of the Chindwin River. The caves are popular with tourists because they have a lot of Buddha statues and beautiful wall paintings.

Dinner is on your own.
On the second day of this short holiday, we'll have time to learn more about Monywa before going to Mandalay.
