After breakfast, your guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel and transfer you to a jetty on the Yangon River. Board a riverboat for a 2-hour cruise to Twante. The boat features a covered, open-air, two-deck boat with ample space for relaxing and enjoying the views. As you leave the city, the river begins to narrow into smaller canals providing an up-close look at life on the river- fishermen, villages and small rowboats ferrying passengers and goods along the water.
Reaching Twante, we’ll go ashore to explore this peaceful town which is known for its pottery. During your visit, you will see many local potteries using traditional methods to craft earthenware, pass by rural neighborhoods and meet friendly locals. You’ll also travel by local horse cart through the town streets, passing by the market and Shwesandaw Pagoda
.
Return to the harbor at midday and embark on the return cruise to Yangon. Lunch will be served on board and you will arrive back in the city around 15.00-15.30. Your car will be waiting to transfer you back to the hotel.
