What's this trip about?

    The upper Irrawaddy River has the most dramatic scenery along the river’s entire length of 2,100 km. This stream flows wholly within Myanmar, fed only by the melting waters of the Burmese Himalayans. The northern part is particularly remarkable and is comprised of three extraordinary ‘defiles’. Passing through the second is truly spectacular, as the river cuts though vertical limestone cliffs that narrow the river’s width to just 90 meters. This spectacular 8 day cruise is a well-balanced voyage along the northern regions of the upper Irrawaddy, passing the third defile on route to the spectacular second defile, whilst enjoying fantastic natural landscapes, captivating scenes of local daily life and a dash of the country’s colonial heritage.
