Travel Myanmar – where to go and what to do
Yangon
Kalaw & Inle Lake
Most travelers visit Kalaw to do a trekking tour to Inle Lake. It is a small town and good to stock up supplies.
Bagan
Bagan is my cultural highlight as you can explore hundreds of temples by yourself. Do not miss this.
Mandalay
From Mandalay you get by boat to Mingung where you will find the greatest intact bell in the world and other sights.
How to get to Myanmar?
Fly either to Yangon or Mandalay. Both airports are international. I found cheap flight connections from Bangkok (check both airports BKK and DMK – there is a shuttle bus connecting both airports for free with your airline ticket). From Yangon airport I took a taxi to the city centre which was fairly cheap and convenient.
Traveling by bus in Myanmar
Within Myanmar traveling by bus is a good and cheap opportunity. They are very convenient with sleeping seats and Multimedia Entertainment Systems on board. Check for connections and prices. We always booked at the places where we stayed over night. They can also arrange a taxi which takes you to the bus terminal.
