RIVER CRUISE TOURS
|
|
Cruises between Mandalay & Bagan:
The most popular part of the Ayeyarwaddy River. Form
Mandalay, the city of the last Myanmar Kings, a bustling
commercial centre and a repository of rich cultural
heritage to Bagan, known as the city of four million
pagodas and one of the richest archaeological sites in
Asia.

Cruises between Mandalay & Bhamo:
The most spectacular part of the Ayeyarwaddy River.
Specially the magnificent 2nd Defile, with its
green-clad mountains, just before it reaches the
old trading post of Bhamo. The 3rd Defile begins near
Thabeikkyin, a small town on the river bank of the
Ayeyarwaddy River and very famous for their gold
production. In this area the rare and endangered
Irrawaddy Dolphins can be seen.

Chindwin River Cruises:
The Chindwin River is the second most important river in
Myanmar. The Chindwin valley is an isolated area, and
less populated than the lands along the Ayeyarwaddy, and
even in this country of old traditions, the people of
Chindwin live very conservatively and contentedly along
this great river.

Delta Cruises:
The Ayeyarwaddy Delta itself is a vast basin stretching
from the coast of the Bay of Bengal across to the Bago
Range. Inter cut with narrower canals, streams and
tributaries, this riverine network irrigates millions of
hectares of farmland, making the delta the central 'rice
bowl' of Myanmar. Naturally abundant the Delta is
heavily populated with towns and villages to be found
through out.

 |
Yangon River Cruises:
The Yangon River (also known as Rangoon River or Hlaing
River) is an estuary that runs from Yangon to the
Andaman Sea. The channel is navigable by ocean-going
vessels and is thus plays a critical role in the economy
of Myanmar. If your time in the delta area is limited,
Twante, a small town noted for its pottery,
cotten-wieving and an old Mon Monastery complex, is a
worthwhile day trip. |
