This half-day tour takes you from Mandalay to see the famous sites of the nearby city of Amarapura. Amarapura was Myanmar’s royal capital from 1783 until 1857 when King Mingdon had many of its buildings dismantled and moved to Mandalay. This tour takes you to Amarapura’s most famous landmarks: U Bein Bridge and the Mahagandayone Monastery.

U Bein Bridge was built in 1850 and is about three-quarters of a mile (1.2 km) long. This is a scenic spot where you might see local fishermen casting their nets. Mahagandayone Monastery is a monastic college and is home to around 1,000 monks. During your visit, you’ll learn about the monks’ daily lives. After your monastery visit, you’ll be transported back to Mandalay.
