The unspoiled hill tribe villages, peaceful colonial towns, and bustling cities share one thing in common; they’re home to a nation of friendly, welcoming people.
With plenty of flat picturesque landscapes mixed among the low hills and one or two tough slopes we’ll ride, the route is a nice mix for both experienced and novice cyclists. Journey off-road amid peaceful pine trees and stunning countryside.
And challenge yourself to the gentle 10-km gradient up to limestone caves of Pindaya to view over 9,000 Buddhas.
The Burma adventure is so much more than just cycling; it’s an opportunity to visit the many splendid sights the country has to offer.
Take in Asia’s longest teak bridge, the famous U Bein bridge, and hear the clear ring of the world’s largest bell at Mingun Pahtodawgyi.
Admire the talented Intha fishermen, who famously row their boats with one leg, and enjoy Burmese hospitality as we cruise the Irrawaddy River. All this and so much more.
