ITINERARIO DETALLADO Día 1 Llegada a Yangon

A la llegada al aeropuerto Internacional de Yangon, su guía de Abercrombie & Kent le estará esperando tras pasar inmigración. Traslado al hotel. Resto del día libre. Yangon es una ciudad en la que lo contemporáneo y colonial de Myanmar (siglos XIX y XX) continúan coexistiendo décadas después de la salida británica. Es una ciudad hermosa con una historia de más de dos milenios, a pesar de que ha sido la capital durante los últimos 100 años. Reconstruida sobre un plan de la red en la década de 1850, las amplias avenidas arboladas están bordeadas por edificios de piedra fina. En la década de 1880, Yangon era conocida como "la Reina de Oriente". Hoy en día, los visitantes pueden sumergirse en la vida de las caóticas calles, prósperos mercados, salones de té con encanto o simplemente pasear por la bulliciosa capital, que sigue siendo una ciudad muy segura.

Día 4 Lago Inle

D

Desayuno en el hotel. Por la mañana, visita un mercado y continuación hacia la Pagoda Phaung-Daw-U, que consagra cinco imágenes de Buda de oro que en el siglo XII, el Rey Alaungsithu a su regreso de la península de Malaca, fueron llevadas de regreso a Myanmar. Las imágenes fueron depositadas en una cueva cerca del lago, y no fueron redescubiertas hasta siglos más tarde. Desde su recolocación a esta pagoda, fueron tan cubiertas con tanto pan de oro que se ven más como bolas de oro que como figuras de Buda. El Lago Inle, en la meseta de Shan, es un oasis donde podrá ver métodos únicos de agricultura y pesca que sustentan a los residentes locales. En los alrededores del lago hay un ancho cinturón de limo y jacintos de agua enredadas. El gobierno vende parcelas de esta tierra flotante para que los aldeanos las cultiven. Las mujeres colocan las parcelas desde los barcos. Crecen coliflores, tomates, pepinos, repollo, judías y berenjenas. La pesca se realiza por medio de una trampa cónica que contienen una red que el pescador empuja a la parte inferior del lago cuando ve movimiento. Todo esto se hace mientras el pescador posa precariamente en la popa del barco con un pie y renrosca su otra pierna alrededor de un remo largo que utiliza para propulsar el barco. Visita del Monasterio Ngaphechaung, un monasterio de madera construido sobre pilotes en el lago. Aquí podrá ver impresionantes imágenes de Buda en los estilos Shan, Tibetano, Bagan y Inwa, en una madera muy adornada y con un pedestal mosaico. Por la tarde, visitará la aldea Nampan donde se puede presenciar la vida tradicional en el lago y donde podrá ver herreros, una fábrica donde hacen cigarros y podrá tratar de hacer un “cheroot” – famoso cigarro birmano – y el taller de un constructor de barcos. Por la tarde, salida hacia Red Mountain Estate Vineyard and Winery (el Estado Vinícola de la Montaña Roja). Situado a lo largo del hermoso lago Inle, en las tierras altas del estado de Shan de Myanmar, se asienta Estado Vinícola de la Montaña Roja, donde se producen los mejores vinos del país. Desde el inicio, los vinos han sido producidos con uvas cultivadas localmente. Las 400.000 plantas originales fueron importadas desde Francia, España e Israel y fueron especialmente escogidas por un enólogo francés. Los vinos se elaboran siguiendo la tradición de los vinos occidentales, utilizando todas las nuevas tecnologías y modernos equipos importados desde Italia.

Desayuno en el hotel. Tiempo libre en su hotel por la mañana. A la hora acordada, traslado al aeropuerto para coger un vuelo con destino a Mandalay. Mandalay fue la última capital real del reino Birmano. Geográfica y culturalmente en el centro del país, la ciudad fue fundada por el rey Mindon como un nuevo centro para el estudio del budismo, y hoy en día sigue siendo la arteria espiritual de una nación con devoción religiosa. Mandalay es el hogar de más de la mitad de la población total de monjes en Myanmar. La antigua capital real por su nombre poético y lírico, inmortalizado en numerosos libros y poemas, evoca imágenes de la infancia del romanticismo y el misticismo de Oriente. A la llegada, traslado a su hotel para realizar el check-in. Por la tarde, una visita al Monasterio Shwenandaw - Shwekyin Kyaung situado en la base norte de la colina de Mandalay. Este impresionante ejemplo de monasterio de teca del siglo XIX es el escenario mágico para una visita privada de las oraciones vespertinas realizadas por los jóvenes monjes novicios en la antigua lengua Pali. Después de las oraciones, el Abad invitará a los clientes a unirse a los jóvenes novicios en el centro del grupo, donde serán bendecidos para tener prosperidad y seguridad espiritual.

Ayeyarwady and Kingdoms Travels Company Limited, its employees, shareholders, officers, directors, successors, agents and assigns (collectively A&K), does not own or operate any entity which is to or does provide goods or services for your trip with the exception of a limited number of vehicles. It purchases transportation (by aircraft, coach, train, vessel or otherwise), hotel and other lodging accommodations, restaurant, ground handling and other services from various independent suppliers (including from time to time other affiliated Abercrombie & Kent companies). All such persons and entities are independent contractors. As a result, A&K is not liable for any negligent or willful act of any such person or entity or of any third person. In addition and without limitation, A&K is not responsible for any injury, financial or physical loss, death, inconvenience, delay or damage to personal property in connection to the provision of any goods or services whether resulting from but not limited to acts of God or force majeure, illness, disease, acts of war, civil unrest, insurrection or revolt, animals, strikes or other labor activities, criminal or terrorist activities of any kind, overbooking or downgrading of services, food poisoning, mechanical or other failure of aircraft or other means of transportation or for failure of any transport mechanism to arrive or depart on time. There are many inherent risks in adventure travel of the type involved here, which can lead to illness, injury or even death. These risks are increased by the fact that these trips take place in remote locations, far from medical facilities. Passenger assumes all such risks associated with participating in this trip. 18.1 In the event of a cancellation or material alteration to the trip as a result of the circumstances as described in this clause A&K may in their sole and absolute discretion:

a) offer the traveller(s) alternative travel arrangements or products of comparable standard as may be appropriate in the circumstances; or

18.2 A&K may charge a reasonable fee to cover the administration costs associated with providing alternative travel arrangements or products. 18.3 If a material alteration becomes necessary within 90 days of the departure date for any reason other than the circumstances described in this clause, A&K will endeavor to offer comparable products or a full refund of all monies paid by the traveller(s).

22. AIR TRANSPORTATION: Airlines concerned are not to be held responsible for any act, omission or event occurring while passengers are not on board

their aircraft. International air carriers are also subject to international air conventions limiting their liability.

23. PASSPORT & VISAS Please note that passport holders are responsible for obtaining the required documentation applicable for entry. Please note also that passports must be valid for six (6) months before departure and should also have sufficient blank pages for visas and immigrations stamps. A&K cannot be held responsible should you be denied entry to a country due to non-compliance with these requirements.

24. TRAVEL INSURANCE: A&K strongly recommend all clients take out comprehensive travel insurance prior to date of travel. This insurance should cover cancellation and curtailment, all medical expenses including evacuation/repatriation, personal baggage, personal liability, death and permanent disability and travel document insurance. A&K cannot be held responsible for any costs arising from such loss or injury.

25. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT: Any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions, to the Limits on A&K’s Responsibility clause, to the brochure, to any information relating in any way to the trip, to the trip itself or to any products or services related to the trip, shall be settled in the first instance by binding arbitration in the applicable legal forum as detailed in clause 26 of these Terms and Conditions.
