Bike travel is a great way to discover Myanmar’s many mysteries, including the picturesque countryside and off- the-beaten-path sites. Best of all, cycling Myanmar lets you control your own pace of travel and really take in the local sites and lifestyles. Burmese locals are friendly to cyclists; you’ll likely hear warm welcomes of ‘mingalaba!’ as you pedal past. You’ll feel your senses awakened as you breathe in the fresh air and witness the stunning scenery in the cities and countryside. At All Asia Tours, we can advise you on the best places in Myanmar for a cycling tour, and we are happy to take care of all of your travel arrangements in advance.

Myanmar offers a bounty of beautifully diverse landscapes including rolling hills, charming rural villages, dense emerald-green foliage, and a scattering of fascinating colonial sites. Bagan’s vast plains are an excellent place for exploring the city’s thousands of ancient temples. Here, you’ll find a scattering of dirt paths that zigzag past the ruins. Picturesque Inle Lake is another delightful cycling destination with lovely floating gardens and colorful stilt houses that should not be missed.

You’ll want to use a sturdy, high-quality bike since a number of Burmese roads and streets are a bit rugged. You can either bring your own bicycle or rent one, and you will want to bring a helmet from home. November through February tends to be the best time to ride through Myanmar, depending on your preferences. By this time, the monsoon rains have subsided, and temperatures are not terribly hot.
