3 Day Itinerary For Mawlamyine, Mon State & Karen State, Myanmar

3 days isn’t a great deal of time to see Mawlamyine and surrounding areas, so some choices will need to be made. Day three has two suggested options, depending on your tastes.

Option 1 would be best for those who are in the region because of its WWII history and would also be the better option for those who may have mobility difficulties. That said, the region is not set up for those with disabilities and stairs are everywhere!

Option 2 would be best for those who are interested in Buddhist history and who don’t mind trekking barefoot through some dark caves.

If 3 days is not the right amount of time for you, check out our 2 Day Itinerary and 5 Day Itinerary.
