Hotel advise

Airbagan, Yangonair or Mandalay airways are all more or less similar.... Bagan air used to operate a small jet on some internal routes.. probably still do even though they now also operate International routes.

We stayed at New Park In at Bagan.. They are great and will pick you up from river boat or aiport for free... Their best room is less than USD 30 per night incl. Breakfast...

At Inle (neuang shwe) we went to Hotel Aung Min Galar.. again only about USD 25.00...

In Yangon we went to more expensive hotels but there is a ';motherland'; often recommended.. you will find plenty to choose from and all cities.

Hotel advise

In Bagan, I found the Golden Express convenient, clean with AC,and a pool and a restaurant, as well as reasonable (maybe $25 a night). Mandalay City is centrally located and very nice in that city and it also has a web site (google it). At Inle I stayed at Paradise in Naung Schwe (the bungalows, not the newer section) - as well as the lake location. For me, I was disappointed with staying in the lake. Sounds great but the reality wasn%26#39;t great to me. Bagan Air, Mandalay Air, and 1 or 2 others fly all the same routes. You can find Mandalay Air online for planning purposes with schedules and prices. I just reread and see you aren%26#39;t planning on Mandalay. I would go back to Mandalay just to boat from there to Bagan!

Enjoy Myanmar.

Once again ,thks for the inputs.

Wondering how long is the boat journey from mandalay to bagan and the cost ? Any websites i could refer to ?

The fastest boat do 2 return trips per week and cost around USD 26.00... Takes around 7 or 8 hours downstreeam. (longer upstream).... The daily (slower boats) take almost 12 hours downstream.. and cost from around USD16.00.

Name of the fast boat service by the way is Malikha, if you like to google it for more info.

Once again ,thks for the response for help.

Really big help all the way for planning our trip.
