Mandalay Markets & Fine Food
Duration: Full day Tour
Pick Up: 07:00am @ your hotel (City area)
Drop Off: 03:00pm @ your hotel (City area)
Mandalay is known for its food and interesting market showcasing food from all around the country. Today no temples or pagodas for you but food and markets.
We start early morning with a local breakfast (Nan Gyi Thoke) and visit to the vegetable market. Continue with a stroll to a lively neighbourhood with house industries showing you how to make Mandalay sweets, local cakes and noodles.
We continue to the country side and stop at a farm to see where all the food actually comes from. A typical home made Mandalay lunch is served at one of the lesser known monasteries in the country side where we donate and help planting a few “Sein Ta Lone” mango trees – producing in a few years the best mango in the country – as a Burmese saying says: “the best time to plant a mango tree is 10 years ago – the second best time is today”. Return to the hotel around 3PM or continue to the fish market which is starting around this time.
