Exotic Chindwin: Mandalay - Bagan 12 Days

One of the least-visited rivers in Asia, a cruise on the Chindwin is for the real explorer. Walk through typical riverside villages in the cool air of early-morning, where lifestyles have changed little since the paddle-steamers of the Irrawaddy Flotilla Company first brought Europeans here. Sail through rolling hills and visit secluded, carved-teak monasteries dating from the time of the Burmese Kings. The grand finale is Bagan, the ancient capital where thousands of ruined medieval temples and pagodas are scattered across the plain.
