Spend your first afternoon admiring the glittering Shwedagon Pagoda, in

some less familiar shrines on a cycle tour. On day four, head to Mandalay;
on day five, you'll cruise the Irrawaddy River to the ruins at Mingun. Days
six and seven are spent on the sublime Inle Lake, then it's back to Rangoon.
The eight-night trip, with Explore (0843 634 7550, explore.co.uk),
includes flights and BB in standard-class hotels.
Do it chic: £5,045pp
Check in at the luxurious Governor's Residence in time for cocktails and
dinner, rising early next morning for a tour of Rangoon. Next you're off to
Mandalay, to board the Orient-Express Road to Mandalay river boat for four
nights. You'll see Mingun, then stop
