3 days in Mandalay Itinerary

Built on a large scale by a king needing to impress and rebuild after defeat in battle, Mandalay deserves exploration.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Hsinbyume Pagoda and Sagaing Hill. Venture out of the city with trips to U Min Thonze Caves (in Sagaing) and Anisakan Falls (in Pyin Oo Lwin (Maymyo)). Next up on the itinerary: contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Maha Myat Muni Pagoda- Mahamuni Buddha Temple, get up close to creatures of the deep with a dolphin and whale watching tour, and admire the landmark architecture of Pahtodawgyi Pagoda.
