Highlights
  • Amarapura - Amarapura is a former capital of Myanmar, and now a township of Mandalay city. Amarapura is bounded by the Irrawaddy river in the west, Chanmyathazi Township in the north, and the ancient capital site of Ava (Inwa) in the south. It was the capital of Myanmar twice during the Konbaung period (1783–1821 and 1842–1859) before finally being supplanted by Mandalay 11 km north in 1859. It is historically referred to as Taungmyo (Southern City) in relation to Mandalay. Amarapura today is part of Mandalay, as a result of urban sprawl. The township is known today for its traditional silk and cotton weaving, and bronze casting. It is a popular tourist day-trip destination from Mandalay.

  • Sagaing - Sagaing is the capital of Myanmar’s Sagaing Region and located the Irrawaddy River, 20 km to the south-west of Mandalay on the opposite bank of the river, Sagaing, with numerous Buddhist monasteries is an important religious and monastic centre. The pagodas and monasteries crowd the numerous hills along the ridge running parallel to the river.

  • Innwa - Strategically located on the confluence of Irrawaddy, and Myitnge rivers, and in the main rice-growing Kyaukse District of Upper Burma, the location of Ava had been scouted as a possible capital site as early as 1310 by King Thihathu. Though Thihathu eventually built his new capital at Pinya a few miles east inland in 1313, Thihathu’s great-grandson Thado Minbya, who unified the Sagaing and Pinya kingdoms in September 1364, chose the site of Inwa as his new capital.Inwa was officially founded on 26 February  on a man-made island created by connecting the Irrawaddy on the north and the Myitnge on the east with a canal on the south and the west. The construction of the artificial island also involved filling in the swamplands and lakes .

Definitely an excellent choice ! - We had a great day visiting Sagaing, Amarapura and Inwa with Excellent choice Mandalay. Our driver Htu Htu was very kind, professional and spoke great English. He was always patient, letting us plenty of time to visit. He drove us to a restaurant we had chosen in Sagaing without any problem and even drove us to Mandalay hill for sunset (and waited for us, which was really very nice) as we had already been to U bein bridge ! We enjoyed the tour a lot, it is excellent value for money and definitely recommend.
