GETTING THERE

Emirates flies Dublin to Dubai and then direct to Yangon from around €700 return. The Strand Hotel in Yangon offers rooms from around €400 a night.

Myanmar Voyages runs both group and bespoke/private tours from Yangon to Inle, Bagan and Mandalay, including flights, transfers, drivers and activities. I’d highly recommend allowing a local company to make an itinerary for travelling within Burma as they can ensure a stress-free trip. Visit myanmarvoyages.com
