While you’re in town, the Shwedagon Pagoda, an immense, ancient Buddhist shrine, is a must-see—TripAdvisor travelers recommend visiting at sunrise or sunset.

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.

The Golden Rock is one of the best spots to create your best Myanmar impression after driving around 4 hours from Yangon. Not only a day excursion but also one night trip will be worth your time and you are sure to receive the experience of a rough riding up and down with the truck before arriving to this impressive rock. After heading up the only path towards the Golden Rock which will take about 15 minutes walk, we will see the people praying and the vendors selling the local products, and can enjoy the special mystic atmosphere with scenic view of the rock. The stunning rock may always be surrounded by local people while it is in the festival time. The existence of the golden rock on the edge of the cliff is breathtaking and it will leave you speechless and miraculous. It is all about that we can find happiness and peace of mind by viewing and paying respects to it from every possible place.

Due to Covid-19 we have been 'stuck in Yangon for 5 months. The Government opened up domestic travel and we contacted Zaw Min Oo @ Jack. He arranged our accomodations, flight to Mandalay, road trips to Bagan, Kalaw and Inle Lake (smaller flight routes still not operational) and flight back from HeHo. The 10days were absolutely amazing. We stopped at many little places along our travels off the tourist track. The tours were informative and interesting and he didn't spare the effort to make it as fascinating and interesting as possible. It was like travelling with a friend, not a tour guide. Jack's passion for his country is contagious. Highly recommended.
