Mandalay Holidays
Myanmar's former royal capital
The second largest city and the last royal capital of Myanmar, we love that underneath Mandalay's bustling city façade you can still find many historical sights evoking images of a romantic bygone era. Sometimes overlooked by travellers, Mandalay actually has a great location. Positioned on the banks of the mighty Ayeryarwaddy River, the city lies within easy striking distance of former colonial hill stations, ancient cities and other cultural attractions.
