Hello again. So you’ve seen the map of Myanmar and had a look at some of the destinations on offer in our beautiful and historic country. This section is designed to give you an idea of how much of the country it is possible to see in the time you have available, and to help you plan your ideal trip. We have put together sample itineraries lasting from 2 days (a weekend break or visa run) up to 28 days; the length of a standard tourist visa. Almost all of the itineraries shown here feature the ‘Big Four’ destinations of Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay and Inle Lake, and are planned using available domestic air routes.Whilst you can just pick one of these suggested tours ‘off the shelf’ for us to book for you, remember that we can change, adapt and personalise any tour to your personal preference. Most of the listed suggested tours are designed to help you see and experience as much of the country as possible within a given timeframe. However, should you wish to spend, for instance, 20 days just seeing those ‘Big Four’ destinations – walking the streets and interacting with the local people to really get to know the culture of the country, we can arrange an itinerary to suit. If you wish to see the ‘Big Four’ in a 5, or 6 day sprint; we can arrange that too! If the range of options seems overwhelming, you just need to email us; tell us how long you have to spend in Myanmar, your budget and interests, and we will construct a bespoke itinerary for you. Mr Myanmar Travel does not organise ‘package’, or fixed departure date tours – everything we do is tailored specifically to you.

Families.
If you are travelling as a family with children, tours can be tailored to suit any particular needs that you may have. For instance, touring and transfer cars can be upgraded to minivans to give you more space. We can also arrange for family-sized rooms or suites where they are available, interconnecting or adjoining rooms where they are not. Bagan, Inle Lake and Ngapali Beach are amongst the destinations most popular with families.

Travel by car and minivan.
If you do not wish to fly, we can arrange comprehensive tours of Myanmar by air-conditioned car. Tours start and end in Yangon and we can guarantee an English-speaking driver. This is also a popular option with those who wish to really get to know the Myanmar people, often away from the established tourist sites. For a sample itinerary, please see the ’18 Day’ itinerary below. If you wish to save some time and don’t mind taking one flight, we can also arrange one-way long-distance cars. For instance, we could arrange for you to drive from Yangon to Mandalay, via the locations of your choice – then fly you back directly to Yangon.

Cruises and riverboat travel.
Myanmar is a wonderful country for cruising by riverboat. Three high standard and well regarded cruise companies’ offer cruising on the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) and Chindwin Rivers – please see the ‘Cruise’ pages for details of these companies and itineraries. Mr Myanmar Travel can make reservations for you and organise tour extensions to Inle Lake, or indeed any location mentioned on our website. Please remember we can also charter comfortable small riverboats for your personal use in the Ayeyarwady Delta region, as well as the Ayeyarwady and Chindwin Rivers.

Weather and Seasons.
All of the suggested itineraries below can be arranged between the months of October and May when the weather is generally dry. During the Green (Monsoon) season some destinations, such as Alaungdaw Kathapa are inaccessible due to poor roads. The Green season is, however, an excellent time to cruise as the rivers are high and boats can reach areas that are un-navigable in the dry season.

Borders and Restricted Area Permits.
Mr Myanmar Travel can arrange the permit required for you to start, or end your visit to Myanmar at a border crossing point, rather than at Yangon or Mandalay airports. For sample itineraries, please see the ’14 Day’, ’17 Day’, ’24 Day’ and ’27 Day’ itineraries below. Permits may take up to 3 weeks to arrange so it may not be possible to organise a border crossing in conjunction with a late booking.Permits are also required for some in-country destinations, such as the trekking region of Putao and many National Parks and sanctuaries. Mr Myanmar Travel will apply for the permits on your behalf but please be aware that some permits can take several weeks to obtain. Please make your arrangements with us for travel in these regions as far in advance as possible.

Day Trips and Guides.
Our suggested tours include day trips on most days, by air-conditioned car or private boat, so that you can make the most of your time in the country. Most of our drivers have been working in the tourist industry for years and they know the best sights to see, and the best routes to take to get you there. Should you wish to have ‘free’ days built into your itinerary, to rest, relax or explore on your own – just tell us. Experienced English-speaking guides can be pre-booked to escort and assist you in most destinations. Our guides can really enhance your enjoyment of the country; they know their respective areas extremely well and can explain the history and culture of the region to you. We can also arrange guides who can speak other important languages, such as French, German, Italian, Spanish and Chinese. Should you wish to have one guide escort you throughout your whole trip, this can also be arranged.
