After breakfast, transfer to airport for your flight to Heho .

After breakfast at hotel, departure by bus to Kakku, a lesser known but impressive site comprised of several thousand small stupas in the Pa O region. The place is newly opened after the ethnic freedom fighter had entered the legal-fold. Cycling begins in the mid morning on the bumpy tarred road and bike back to Taunggyi. After lunch, descends down nearly 2000 feet to Inle Lake.
Biking distance : Kakku – Taunggyi (45 Km) / Taunggyi – Inle Lake (43 Km)
After breakfast at hotel, bike to Kalaw.

Bus will transfer you in the early morning to Sakhangyi, a small village hidden in the mountains. We will have a light or picnic lunch on the way in a village restaurant. Then to Kyaukse and continue biking. For those who want to avoid the heavy traffic, the bus will transfer the remaining distance into Mandalay.

You can be as active or as lazy as you choose today. We will do a formal half-day tour to the temple of the former royal capital city of Sagaing, a few miles south of Mandalay. During the afternoon you can visit the pagodas on Mandalay Hill or the MandalayPalace both which are just minutes from the hotel. You can also go shopping. Favorite things to shop for are marionettes, wall hangings and antique opium scales and weights. If you cannot stand a day without exercise, you can bike traditionally around outer wall of the MandalayRoyalPalace.
Biking out of the city is not fun and you will be transferred out of Mandalay for about 20 minutes to avoid the congested traffic. Bike southward along the superb high-way for about 40km and arrive Kyaukse, the rice bowl during the Bagan period. This thriving small town is assumed to be the birth place of Burmese, according the British scholar G.H Luce. Then, turn right to a by-way and arrive Myittha, a small charming town.

Today shall be the most beautiful day to bike. The road is typical to the central dry zone. Begin biking across the dry interior of Myanmar. There are a number of places where they have yet to build bridges so we bike through dry riverbeds or small streams. Tonight we stay at a lovely lodge overlooking Mt.Popa, the site of a popular Buddhist temple build on top of a free-standing volcanic plug and home of the Nats, impish gods who can allegedly have the power to make your life delightful or miserable.
Biking distance: 85 km
After hiking to the top of Mt.Popa, it is just a short, easy ride across the desert plain to the Bagan. The area is intoxicating. We have another very good hotel in Bagan, perhaps Myanmar’s most important and impressive historical site. Spreading over 15 square miles on the banks of the Ayeyarwady River Bagan is an enormous, ancient collection of temples and stupas. Some are crumbling ruins. Others have been magnificently restored.
