What you can expect

Begin your day with convenient pickup from your Mandalay hotel, then enjoy the short 30 minute journey to Amarapura. Listen as your guide tells you about the lives of monks at the famous Mahagandayon Monastery. Continue on to marvel at one of the largest teak bridges in the world—U Bein Bridge—which was built in 1782 at a time when Amarapura was the royal capital.
