Tour Route Map
Overview
With "MANDALAY TOUR TO PYIN OO LWIN ", we'll travel to the former British hill station of Pyin Oo Lwin, situated on a plateau 1000m above sea level.

Stop at the Botanical Gardens to walk around the beautifully landscaped grounds before continuing on to the local market and back to Mandalay.
Your Itinerary
Mandalay is the second-largest city and the last royal capital of Burma. Located 445 miles (716 km) north of Yangon on the east bank of the Irrawaddy River, the city has a population of one million and is the capital of Mandalay Region. Mandalay is the economic hub of Upper Burma and considered the centre of Burmese culture. A continuing influx of Chinese immigrants, mostly from Yunnan, in the past twenty years, has reshaped the city’s ethnic makeup and increased commerce with China. Despite Naypyidaw’s recent rise, Mandalay remains Upper Burma’s main commercial, educational and health center.
