First-Timer s Guide to Myanmar — Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay, Lashio | The Travel Intern

9-Day Adventurous Myanmar Itinerary here: https://bit.ly/3iPZiD4 Myanmar. What an absolute stunner. On this adventure, we got to visit Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay, Inle Lake and Lashio! Here’s what we did! ------------------------------------------------------ YANGON (00:23) 00:25 - Shwedagon Pagoda Probably the most iconic landmark in Yangon — The Shwedagon Pagoda, which lights up at night and is truly a sight to behold. BAGAN (00:37) The best way to get around Bagan, both New Bagan and Old Bagan, is to rent an e-bike, or a normal bicycle would do! 00:58 - Bagan Hot Air Balloon Sunrise Experience Famous for its hot air balloon ride, we hopped on the tour and got to experience it for ourselves! To catch the sunrise while floating and drifting amidst the clouds was so surreal. 01:15 - Lawkananda Pagoda Situated on the top of the Irrawaddy River, this is not to be missed! 01:24 - Ananda Temple Be awed by the beautiful and intricate architecture here. 01:34 - Wonders of Salay & Mount Popa Day Tour Don t be deterred by the 777 steps to reach the top — It is SO WORTH IT. MANDALAY (01:47) 01:49 - Rv Nmai Hka Irrawaddy River Cruise It might be 12 hours, but it was a good 12 hours, experiencing the seas and the journey from Bagan to Mandalay. 02:01 - U Bein Bridge Either the sunrise or the sunset, they are both spectacular. This bridge is the longest and oldest teakwood bridge in the world! 02:10 - Dee Dote Waterfall Located deep in the mountainous region one hour away from Mandalay by car, lies this blue lagoon. The hike up to this sweet spot is WORTH IT! 02:34 - Mandalay Hill WE KNOW it seems like you gotta hike all the time in Myanmar, but really, when you re at the top, don t you think you get the best views? :-) INLE LAKE (02:49) One of the must-dos if you re ever in Myanmar, is to get on a boat and explore the ins and outs of Inle Lake! LASHIO (03:03) 03:08 - Gokteik Viaduct The best way to travel to Lashio — by train! Get to admire the different landscapes of the countryside~ 03:19 - Mountain Biking Exploration Adrenaline junkies — This is for you! It s definitely not an easy bike path, let us assure you. But worth every bump on the road. 03:35 - Myanmar Adventure Outfitters Experience a customisable off-the-beaten-track adventure and contribute to the needs of the communities and villages you interact with on your trip! 03:39 - Dark Horse Falls Some of us didn t dare to cliff jump because it was THAT scary, but being up there and in the heart of all the action with other travellers made it one of our best moments during this trip! 04:01 - Homestay at Ban Khaw Village We got to stay in a local homestay and immersed ourselves in the local culture. They were SO warm and friendly, and welcomed us with the biggest open arms ever. :-) ---------------------------------------------- Edited by: Chloe Cara - http://instagram.com/qlo.e3e Follow our travel guides around the world on: ► https://thetravelintern.com/ Follow us on our travel adventures on social media: ► @TheTravelIntern http://facebook.com/thetravelintern http://instagram.com/thetravelintern https://t.me/thetravelintern Learn about The Travel Intern Programme: ► https://thetravelintern.com/about-tra...
