What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?

Bagan was stunning, I really loved it. The most memorable thing was finding the street in Maymyo (pyin oo lin) were my Father was born and brought up for the first 11 years of his life. If anything I think the trip should have been longer, more time a t variuos places. Maymyo was much nicer than Mandaly and maybe in future you should spend a night up there in the cool.

What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?

Difficult to say, there were so many. Visiting Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon; mingling with local pilgrims at the precariously perched Golden Rock; seeing the sun set over Bagan and later U Bein Bridge; serenly skimming the surface of Inle Lake.

What did you think of your tour leader?

Our tour leader Nyi Nyi Lwin was excellent. He was gentle and kind, attentive and knowledgeable, while also highly efficient and made our travel arrangements seem seamless. He stayed behind in our hotel in Yangon after our departure time, to ensure everyone got away safely, or that those who stayed on had everything further they needed. It was a pleasure to be in his company.

What advice would you give to other travellers?

Read up on the Myanmar Buddhist tradition before you go. Interact with the people. Donate to the schools and orphanages you will encounter. These are run by wonderful people, often with no outside support. Take extra memory cards for your camera. You will need them.

Excellent, excellent and excellent! i cannot stress enough how Nyi Nyi Lwin contributed to making it such a wonderful experience.
