BELMOND ROAD TO MANDALAY BELMOND.COM/ROADTOMANDALAY
we recommend Belmond Governor’s Residence. Or for the ultimate escape why not head off to Myanmar’s magical freshwater lake before or after your cruise and discover the area’s scenic beauty and rich cultural heritage. We can arrange for you to visit one of the magnificent sights and stay at our suggested hotel. We recommend Inle Princess Resort which is nestling on the eastern edge of Inle Lake, with secluded traditional wooden chalets with views across the tranquil lake.
