Tour Route Map

Join "YANGON TOUR TO THE COUNTRYSIDE" to explore the colorful countryside surrounding the busy city of Yangon. Travel by ferry across the Yangon River to the town of Dhala where a trishaw ride exposes the natural beauty and local customs of this rural town.
Your Itinerary
Yangon – formerly Rangoon, was the capital of Myanmar until it was superseded by Naypyidaw in November 2005. Today, with a population of over 5 million people, it remains the largest city and main economic hub of Myanmar. Yangon city is an amalgamation of British, Burmese, Chinese and Indian influences, and is known for its colonial architecture, which although decaying and beyond appreciation, remains an almost unique example of a 19th-century British colonial capital
Yangon Daily Tours to the Countryside:
After breakfast at your hotel, transfer to the Nanthida Jetty to board a ferry to cross the Yangon River to Dhala (other side of the Yangon city). The boat is a double-decker, sturdy, durable boat. (15 minutes boat trip) As you board the jetty, observe the colorful street market where locals come to buy and sell their wares. The boat ride to Dhala takes 15 minutes and upon reaching Dhala, travel by local trishaw through the town, visit the Market, and chit-chat with local people.
The trip to Dhala is shutterbug’s delighted as it is full of scenic spots and natural beauty. There is a wide gap between Yangonian life and the life of the people at Dhala. The most outstanding thing is that these charming people extend their hospitality with enormous smiles. Their life is lacking in many amenities however, mutual help and cooperation are concepts underlying a large number of social and religious customs prevailing in the Dhala area.
After visiting the village and market, proceed to the monastery to learn about monastic life in Myanmar. The monastery serves as a community centre where the people can do good deeds, gain eternal merit and find peace of mind.
Return by boat to Yangon, observing life along the river and reflecting back on your excursion to Dhala. Upon returning to the Yangon jetty, you will be transferred back to your hotel.
