Day 2:

Mandalay Tour <80km In the morning we will meet the motorcycles we will be riding for the duration of our tour. The CRF250L. The 250 is the perfect motorcycle for touring Myanmar’s varying terrain. The bike is light enough to put on a boat but powerful enough to make it up the highest mountain Myanmar has to offer. We will take a tour of Mandalay and the surrounding areas today and get used to the bikes and the local riding style.

Day 4: Kyakme to Mountain Village. <100 km

We will meet our guide in the morning and visit the bustling local market. The hill tribes we’ll visit today are happy to let us stay in their homes but they don’t have enough food for our group so we’ll have to bring enough meat and produce for dinner. The trip will mostly be off roff-roady as we work our way through the maze of mountain trails and oxcart paths to get to a Shan village for the night. We hope you had a good shower in Kyaukme because there are no showers in the village, just a bucket, and a bowl. We will have our food cooked for us on an open fire while we relax and experience a more simple off-the-grid lifestyle. We will have a rugged night sleeping on straw mats in the village chief’s house. Hotel: Village Stay. Very rustic

We’ll work our way north on a newly constructed road toward the ruby capital of the world, Mogok. We won’t be allowed to enter the city without so we will get about as close as we can before we turn south. These newly constructed roads along the mountain ridges are absolving so we will have lots of time to take photos of the surrounding areas.
