Mandalay To Bagan By Bicycle – 7 Days through the sleepy heartland from pious Mandalay on the storied AyeyarwaddyRiver and we’ll visit the ancient city of Bagan, cycling amongst the thousands of pagodas, stupas, and temples that dominate the river valley that was once the center of a powerful and deeply religious empire. Riding through the countryside, we will be greeted by warm and friendly people few tourists see or meet.
