After breakfast at the hotel visit Myanmar's legendary lost city of Mrauk U. Back in its 15th century heyday Mrauk U was one of the richest cities in all of Asia but today the town is more like a sleepy village.

Afternoon, visit Shitthaung Temple, Mrauk U's most important monument, built in 1535 by 1,000 architects and containing a remarkable collection of Arakanese Buddha images and reliefs. Continue to the multi-spired Andawthein Ordination Hall, with its unique stone carvings, the circular Ratanabon Pagoda, Dukkhanthein, a huge fortress-like temple with vaulted passages containing interesting stone sculptures and Laymyetnha, the first pagoda erected in Mrauk U in 1430. Overnight in Mrauk U.

 

Day 3 : Mrauk U - Sittwe (B)

 

Enjoy sunrise over the misty hills of Mrauk U from the top of the hill. After breakfast continue sightseeing in Mrauk U with a visit to the market, the ruins of the Royal Palace and the Archaeological Museum. Proceed to the jetty and board a chartered boat back to Sittwe. On arrival enjoy sunset over the Bengal Bay from View Point Beach. Overnight in Sittwe.

 

Day 4 : Sittwe - Yangon (B)
