For those without the time for a longer classic Pandaw cruise join one of our cult short cruises between the two ancient capitals of Burma. We started these in 1998 and they are a great component in a tailored land tour.
You will see the best of river life with stops in the bustling monastery city of Pakokku and the delightful pottery village of Yandabo with its Pandaw School.
Warning! Most people who book the short cruise rebook for a classic longer cruise in a future year.
