Stayed at Grand Plaza Parkroyal Yangon - Yangon, Myanmar.
|
Just a few minutes walk from the hotel to
the famous Bogyoke Market. 10-15 minutes walk to the Sule Pagoda.
With hotel limousine we went to Bago for 6
hours and payed 98 USD.
(Taxi in Yangon is very cheap but the cars are
miserable and very old, so for a tour you need a good car.)

Stayed at Bagan Golf Resort - Bagan, Myanmar.

The plains of Bagan hold a treasure trove of historical importance akin to the much better known Angkor Wat complex of Cambodia. The variety of 10th and 11th century temples is awe inspiring and can comfortably be toured via bicycle. A visit to the Archeological Museum should not be missed.

I took the standard yangon-mandalay-bagan route, and agents recommend that this circuit be done in two day increments for each city. i would say that yangon and mandalay can be done in about a day, and i would recommend that the majority of your time should be spent in bagan and the surrounding towns, as such attractions as inle lake. yangon and mandalay was quite polluted and not worth more than a day each.

Stayed at Summit Parkview Hotel - Yangon, Myanmar.

Rangoon/Yangon is best seen in 2 days.
The ShweDagon is nice as was Bago (a day trip). The constant car horns were maddening.
Make sure you have a Taxi that has not only a seatbelt but one that works (the hotels cars I rode in did, except for 1).
If you want to read while in Burma, you need 2 bring it with you, there are no bookstore 2 speak of.

You can do Yangon in about two days--temples & sights one day, shopping at the markets the next. Use it as a stop before & after seeing the real sights at Mandalay & Bagan. Contact Y & A tours for an excellent guide to not only Yangon, but all of Myanmar.
