10 days and 13 days Northern Myanmar
10 Days
Northern Myanmar
This round trip brings you to northern Myanmar, a
mountainous region bounded on the NW by India and on the
N and E by China and traversed by tributaries of the
Ayeyarwady River. Visit Myitkyina, the capital of Kachin
State, drive by car to Bhamo, a small river town close
to the Chinese border and drift on a chartered boat the
Ayeyarwaddy downstream to Mandalay, the city of the last
Myanmar Kings.
This round trip combines scenic interest with a study of
local life and culture. We visit the main historic and
cultural centres as well as many remoter places well off
the beaten track. Such small towns and villages are part
of a rich river economy and thriving with local industry
and activity. Irrawaddy valley civilization has changed
little in hundreds of years and wherever we go the
people are warm, friendly and very hospitable.
The river varies enormously: it is vast with endless
winding channels just above Mandalay and then dark and
narrow through the 3rd Defile. It is a constantly
changing landscape with a stunning back drop of
mountains.
