Day 9 – Mandalay to Bagan We arrive in Bagan at lunchtime and in the afternoon enjoy a sightseeing tour of Bagan. We start by climbing a pagoda to get a first impressive view over the whole plain. From here the guide plans his way to some of the other impressive temples that have been here for hundreds of years- places like the Ananda, Dhammayangyi and Thatbyinnyu will certainly impress you.
Day 10 – Explore Bagan A free day in Bagan to discover its delights at your own pace. You can rent a horse cart, a bicycle or an electric bike or if you book early enough you may be able to take a spectacular early morning balloon ride over the Bagan plain.
Day 11 - Bagan to Kalaw This morning we visit an elephant conservation project near Kalaw. The project includes a natural environment for retired working Asian elephants and helps the local population through education and micro finance. You will learn about the elephants and have time to help wash them in the river and feed them in beautiful surroundings.
Day 12 - Kalaw to Inle Lake Before arriving at the lake we visit a recently set up vineyard, one of only a couple in the whole country. We visit the ruins of Indein, partly covered by vegetation and which until recently lay undiscovered. If time allows we will take a short walk to enjoy a fantastic view over the lake and visit a school in Tha Ley village. A home-made cooked lunch will be served in a local house. We continue towards the Nam Pan village for a trip by small canoes exploring the small channels and observing village life.
Day 13 - Inle Lake Enjoy a full day exploring this magical lake by boat. We discover its natural beauty, visit the floating gardens, see some of the famous leg rowing fisherman, and have a cup of tea at a local home. Around the lake, traditional markets are held in different villages according to a 5-day rotating schedule.
