Finish your adventure in Yangon as you arrive on a night bus.Day 1: A morning of mountain biking in the surroundings of Mandalay. You will be picked up at your hotel at 7:15am. We pass through fresh markets, lively neighbourhoods and head for the north east of the city. After only a short pedal we find ourselves in the true countryside where farmers tend to their fields and villagers go about the daily rituals that have remained unchanged for decades, if not longer. Rest if the day is free and easy. Overnight at Guesthouse with the most welcoming staff.
