With the institution of democratic elections in 2011 the country of Myanmar has slowly re-opened its doors to foreign tourism. Of course with the pioneering spirit and desire for adventure we live by at MotoDiscovery we knew we had to add this gem to our list of motorcycle tour options. Guests of the Myanmar Golden Pagoda Motorcycle Tour will be among the first to travel to Myanmar. This unique and unusual ride will be one that adventurer tourists don’t want to miss. Riding the Royal Enfield Bullet we will discover this land during its time of “awakening” before the country becomes overly discovered and traveled.
The entirety of this motorcycle tour will take place in country. 15 days and over 1,250 miles of traveling through Myanmar allows this trip to provide maximum riding and cultural saturation. Travelers can expect a generally mild terrain ranging from agricultural valleys to rolling forest hills and wide river valleys. The trip will consist of primarily paved road riding with the occasional dirt and broken pavement. While hotel accommodations are generally excellent with one or two nights of best available, basic but clean lodging.
If you enjoy traveling outside the box the Myanmar Golden Pagoda Motorcycle Tour is perfect for you. The trip will begin in the hustle and bustle of Yangon which was formerly Rangoon. This will be a cultural experience for everyone involved. Locals take to the streets at night while the city comes alive with pop-up markets, restaurants, and tea shops. Families get together to enjoy the cooler temperatures after a day of blistering daytime heat. From the city of Yangon we will head North and West toward the Ayeyarwady River Basin. This portion of the trip is littered with verdant fields, rolling teak forests, and active and colorful villages.
The predominant life philosophy throughout the country is Buddhism, although Islam, Christianity, and Hinduism also flourish throughout Myanmar. Throughout the trip you will see the golden pagodas that gleam atop hillsides and ridges with their spires shining above treetops and forests. The warm yet reserved people of Myanmar will go out of their way to help with anything you need.
Don’t wait to travel to Myanmar. Be one of the first to experience this truly unique culture that has been without foreign tourists for quite some time. Our Team is comprised of local guides and drivers as well as tried and true staff and mechanics from abroad. The Royal Enfield Bullet’s we ride are meticulously maintained and in tip top shape.
