Day Myawaddy - Yangon Overland Tour Package

Package Overview

Trains in Myanmar are not up to international standard and reliability leaves to be desired. However, we will make every effort to provide best available seats on the train. In case of schedule irregularities or delays which are quite normal we will adjust your itinerary in the best possible way. Note also that chairs are often broken, there is no air-condition and toilets should be avoided as much as possible.
Note: The region around Myawaddy, Hpa-An and Mawlamyine is still undeveloped for most aspects of tourism. This is essentially an adventure tour. AAE Myanmar will endeavour to obtain the best available accommodations, transport and facilities for guests, but would ask their understanding for any practical aspects which do not come up to expectation, and for delays or changes in itinerary. It is not recommended to travel to this region during the monsoon season (June - September. You will travel to a mountainous region where nights can be cold during the winter season from November to February. Good walking shoes are recommended.
Myanmar visa is to be procured prior to the arrival at the border checkpoint in Maesot. AAE Myanmar will make the best effort to obtain the travel permits for the entry at Myawaddy checkpoint and the journey through Kayin and Mon States which are to be issued at the discretion of the authorities and subject to confirmation upon receipt of such permits.
Itinerary is subject to change depending on road conditions and availability of rooms.
