Program details
Winding rural roads twisting through peaceful stretches of countryside await you as you explore the pretty region of Pyin Oo Lwin. At Just over an hour's drive from Mandalay, this quaint country destination provides the ideal refreshing escape for visitors to Upper Myanmar.
Originally a military outpost Pyin Oo Lwin is now a popular destination for visitor and locals alike.
