Myanmar By Bike
Myanmar, also known as Burma, is one of the most majestic cycling tour destinations of Southeast Asia, with a rich culture newly opened up to the world. Cycle tour through the legendary, pagoda-filled plains of Bagan or pedal around the shores of Inle Lake and experience hearty food, friendly people, and breathtaking scenery. The old world charm and beauty of Myanmar is best experienced on a cycle tour.
Myanmar is The Land of Pagodas thanks to the many Buddhist temples, stupas, and pagodas that dot its landscape.
Spend a day on a boat around Inle Lake as you glimpse the traditional one-leg fishermen.

Stunning Sights
Take your bike off road for beautiful rural scenes, or look up as you glide down from hills into the bustling Irrawaddy basin. Wind around mystical mountains topped with white and gold stupas, or enjoy the birdlife by the tranquil waters of Inle Lake. Park your bike and take some photos! Visit the volcanic Mt. Popa for awesome sunset views before pedaling through the magic of the Bagan plains. Myanmar is unlike anything you’ve ever seen and is sure to arouse your sense of wonder as you look up from your bike to marvel at the sights around you.
The Rewards of Cycling
Back in Time
As tourism has been discouraged until recently, the traditional Burmese way of life remains intact. Cycle through villages where the locals still live according to their ancient ways, or catch a glimpse of the fishermen of Inle Lake who have mastered their craft- on one leg! Visit local markets, try out tea picking, explore the riverside colonial town of Salay, or park your bike to sample some noodles and local specialties. Burmese culture is so foreign and un-westernized, there will be lots of discoveries in store for the adventurous cyclist.
