We were very excited to visit Myanmar. We were especially excited to visit a friend from Yangon that we had met in 2014 while traveling in Vietnam. I had originally wanted to take the slow train from Yangon north, but time restraints made flying a much better (if less adventurous!) option for this trip. We planned a 12-day, 11-night itinerary:
- 2 days in Yangon
- 3 days in Nyaungshwe (Inle Lake)
- 4 days in Bagan
- 1 full day riverboat trip from Bagan to Mandalay
- 2 days in Mandalay
