a video-recording of the journey done by one of the cyclists in the recent
tour (credit to Wang EH):
Myanmar, the golden
land, is another exciting destination in our cycling
portfolios. We are the local Myanmar tour operator under our
own new outfit SHANGRILA ADVENTURE (MYANMAR) Travels & Tours
Company Limited.
Due to the vast distance of the central region from Yangon, we fly you to
Heho airport to start your cycling holiday from Inle lake, a beautiful highland
lake filled with many water villages on stilts & surrounded by mountains.
You ride along the back country roads towards ancient capital of Mandalay.
Enroute, you get to see locals using bullock-carts to transport their crops,
& village kids waving at you from their homes.
The program includes spending a full day exploring the pagodas of ancient
Bagan, cycling on off-road conditions & sandy paths that are usually not
undertaken by the normal tourists. The trip ends in Mount Popa with a visit to
the popular Taung Kalat pagoda that sits high atop a huge stone feature.
Overall, we would grade this program as moderate strenuous. It is suitable
even for average cyclists as there are no high altitude, or harsh weather
conditions. We have made the journey more pleasant & possible for everyone
by planning for cycling only on the nicer & quieter countryside roads.
