Best time for this tour
This tour should be taken from Oct to the end of April when the weather is moderate with less chance of raining.
Departure time
The tour will start in the morning at 8.00am with a pick up from your hotel in Mandalay. Please be noted that you need to arrive at least one day before the tour starts (we recommend two days earlier to acclimate and avoid jet lag). We are pleased to arrange hotel in Mandalay upon your request with additional cost.
Return time
On the last day, you are free until your departure time so it is possible for you to catch a departure flight or take a connecting flight to extend your beach holiday in Ngapali (Ngapali beach is not recommended between May to end of August due to the rainy season).
Luggage
Most of touring time, you have to bring luggage along with you and pack it on the back of your bike (all of our bikes are installed with stable rack). Chased pick-up truck is arranged on special requirement only. So, the luggage is recommended to be light and easy to tight up.
Fitness
We would not recommend this tour to those who cannot, for instance, climb a flight of stairs without puffing and blowing. Please note that there are some long days in the saddle. We reach some high altitudes on this tour, so if you have any existing medical condition, please consult your doctor before booking.
Gears
We strongly recommend that you bring your own gears to be the most comfortable and all protective. We also provide helmets, gloves, knee and elbow guards which are of high quality brands in many different sizes. Please be noted that we do not offer jackets, boots and trousers due to hygienic reasons. Good trekking or sport shoes and jeans should be enough.
All inclusive
Since almost everything is included in your tour package (motorcycle rental; accommodation; fuel cost; tour guide; all entry fees; all meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner; soft drinks and more), your biggest expenses will be paid for alcoholic beverages in the evening and shopping.
100$ should cover all your expenses if you are not a big drinker. Shopping is great so you might want to bring along some cash in case you see something you really like.

Myanmar's second-largest city, a population of one million souls, and the busy economic hub of the top half of Burma. Then, we transfer you to hotel where your local guide will give you the briefing about riding trip in Myanmar. Next, we go to our motorbike store to check your bike that you will use during motorbike adventure in Myanmar.
Overnight stay at hotel in Mandalay.
Today you are suggested to leave Mandalay as early as possible because of the long ride ahead. Our first stop is Mindat - a small town of the Chin State, impressively perched on a hillside at an altitude of about 1,500 metres offering scenic and varied adventures to visit the Chin ethnic minorities. The road condition from Mandalay to Mindat is good. But there will be uphill road with twist and turns to Mindat. Furthermore, the weather in Minat area will be very misty or rainy during the monsoon season (May to Sept) of Myanmar. Overnight at hotel in Mindat.
This morning we ride steep winding roads up to the spectacular mountain top and riding through the villages of tattooed women. Firstly, we move to Pann Awaw Village (15 km away from Mindat) where to take a break and interact with local villagers. Then, we continue riding through jungle and off the beaten tracks to get to next village “Hay Kaung” where to enjoy the simple picnic lunch arranged by the local guide. Later, we move to our last destination of the day - the village of “Ma Dam” before it is late. To be noted that, the route will be slippery and muddy during the monsoon. The itinerary will be changed by local trekking guide depending on weather condition and road condition during traveling day in this area. Overnight at hotel in Mindat.
Today we move to Kanpetlet which is known for Mt.Victoria - the highest peak of the Chin Hills and one of the highest mountains in Western Myanmar. Natmataung National Park “home of some of the world's rarest bird species” will also be visited. The picnic lunch will be arranged by local guide on the way and we stay overnight at Pinewood villa in Kanpetlet.
Today, after breakfast, we drive back to Mandalay and on the way, we will visit some local villages and markets. After that, we will head back to Mandalay and leave the bikes at bike store in Mandalay. Check in hotel in Mandalay and enjoy your evening time.
