I am playing catch up as I haven't been here in quite a while,In 2016/2017 my partner and I travelled to Myanmar having a 3 week custom private tour. The Team at Tour East were excellent, Not only did everything go as planned the guides provided in each area were extremely knowledgeable and made suggestions re our itinerary to compliment what was already planned. Balloons over Bagan was probably a highlight however the while trip over something for all the senses and the people we met were wonderful.

Surrounded by Pa-O village and arranged neatly in straight rows, the 2000-plus stupas at Kakku are one of the most impressive, yet least visited sites in Shan State. Built in numerous styles, a number of the stupas are simple in design whilst others are richly decorated and covered in deities.

Restoration of the complex commenced years ago to maintain this awe-inspiring scene outside Inle Lake.

Inclusions: A full-day tour with a professional English-speaking guide. , Transportation by air-conditioned vehicle with professional driver, Kakku zone fees, All applicable taxes and service charges, A simple lunch at a local restaurant is included (food only)

Cannot praise Adventure Myanmar tours enough for their excellent service. From their guides, drivers, help with check ins at airports we were taken care of wonderfully. We flew from Yangon to Inle lake, Mandalay and Bagan and back to Yangon Nothing was too much trouble for them and everything was so well organised. Our trip was stress free and we received so many presents too as well as a lovely meal paid for by them on our last night in Myanmar. We were so touched by all the presents and the meal, which other tour company does that?
