Mandalay

Pyin U Lwin

If you want to escape to a cooler hill town, this is a nice place. It is a town with Nepalese and Indian people. It's famous for its sweater knitting and for its fruits. You get around with pony wagon. From Mandalay, you can take a pick up truck from the central busstation. From Pyin U Lwin, you can get to Hsipaw and even to Lashio without a permit (always check first for up to date info with MMT). Behind this point you need permits.

Nyaungshwe (Inle Lake)

We took a minibus from the central busstation to Inle Lake. The company was Honey Express, and the 6 hour trip costed 3 US$. On the way you pass the hill station of Kalaw where you can get off. We heard you can also do some great hikes there.

Bagan

By bus: from Mandalay busstation, around 2 US$.

By boat: very popular with travellers. the trip takes around 10 hours (fast boat) and costs 15 US$.
