Notes

The tour will start in the morning at 07:30 with a pickup from your hotel in Mandalay.

Burma Motorbike Tours is pleased to arrange airport pickup / dropoff and hotel in Mandalay upon your request with additional cost.

The tour will end at around 17:00 back in Mandalay, so it is possible for you to catch a departure flight on the same day.
