Accommodation

The hotels’ standards in Myanmar vary, especially in quality and availability. Our accommodation will be on deluxe hotels (4-5 stars) during the entire trip. We will be staying at the Aurem Palace Hotel (Bagan).

Meals

Myanmar cuisine is established around rice or noodles, usually served with a variety of curries between meat and fish, along with a dish of vegetables, salads, soup, and condiments. Myanmar curries tend to be less spicy than those served in Thailand. Meals & drinks at international hotels are considerably expensive. There are many good local restaurants with almost the same quality of food and hygiene as hotels but at reasonable prices. They serve various dishes of Myanmar, Chinese, European (French and Italian), Thai and Indian cuisine. However, small roadside restaurants are not recommended, as it can be risky for health. Restaurants and food served towards the travelers are carefully selected for hygiene as well as gastronomic considerations.

The given prices are per person with excluded international flights. Given below are the departure dates available for online booking. If the given date is not favorable then please contact us and we will happily customize your trip on dates more appropriate for you.
