Take a leisurely-paced walk through the city, following the course of the Yangon River and heading first to the bustling harbour area, from where the ferries leave for the upcountry towns that lie along the Irrawaddy (Ayeyarwady) River. Yangon is blessed with the highest concentration of colonial architecture in Southeast Asia, and the famous Pansodan Street includes gems such as the former High Court and General Telegraph Office. Also take in the Independence Monument and St Mary's Cathedral, the largest in the country. Then take a rickshaw to the Botataung Pagoda. If possible, visit the vibrant Bogyoke Market (closed on Mondays and public holidays).
After pausing for a spot of shopping if you wish, pay a visit to the famous Shwedagon Pagoda, whose recognisable golden stupa dominates the city's skyline. The most sacred Buddhist pagoda in Myanmar, the Shwedagon is believed to be over 2,500 years old and its central stupa is surrounded by a wealth of intricately decorated buildings and statues. Believed to hold the relics of past Buddhas, the pagoda is a popular shrine for local pilgrims, making it a fascinating spot at which to enjoy the late afternoon sun.

Customer Feedback
We enjoyed a 3 week trip exploring both the well known places as well as the less developed areas. We also balanced the trip with a variety of walks and activities as well as time for several half day breaks to relax. The Myanmar people are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The colours of the country are outstanding, wonderful dusty landscapes with rice fields and palm trees as well as so many amazing pagodas rich in colour and symbolism. Our best parts were the less well known places but Lake Inle and Bagan are must do places and are still not overrun by tourists. Experience Travel Group tailored a trip for our needs and knew how to do so and suggest appropriate hotels and means of travel.
