What to do in Mandalay, Myanmar?
On the first look, Mandalay does not seem to have the most beautiful sights. But it is definitely worth to visit as it has some really stunning places to explore.
View from our Hotel "Victory Point" with rooftop Bar
Go on a boat trip to Mingun
...to spend the day to explore temples, the weirdest elephants I have seen and enjoy the view from the top of the most adventurous temple I have climbed.
...see the impressive ancient pagodas and temples of former kings and rulers
...visit the stunning but incomplete Pa Tho Taw Gyi stupa (Mingun Pahtodawgyi)
...climb to the top to enjoy the breathtaking view on the Irrawaddy river
Greet the fossilized elephants from me ;-)
They say: if you touch the bell (second largest in the world) it brings you luck and happiness for life.
Maybe try some real local food?!
Get blinded by the Sat Taw Yar Pagoda
Book your accommodation in Mandalay to explore the Irrawaddy river, Mingung and the famous Pahtodawgyi stupa.
I stayed at the Victory Point Hotel which was very comfy and close to the city centre. I really liked the view from the rooftop bar especially at night when the city is light up.
