Myanmar Tour from Singapore

Direct flights from Singapore to Myanmar are available. You can take a flight from Singapore Changi Airport to Yangon, the largest city of Myanmar. Airfare ranges from $58-2000 dollars and the duration takes you around 6h 29m, including 2h 10m transfer. Also, from Singapore Changi, you can fly to Mandalay, the second-largest city of Myanmar, which takes about a total of 6h 42m and costs from $222 dollars. If you prefer to tour the capital city of Naypyidaw, the flight takes off at Changi as well and takes longer time, requiring 7h 49m.

Overland tour from Singapore to Myanmar also works. You can take a bus from Singapore Kempas Baru to Yangon Aung Mingalar, requiring over 2 days. And the fare costs up to $110 dollars. Along the way, you will pass through remarkable tourist destinations and can enjoy the Southeast Asia countryside scenery.

The answer is YES. All key tourist destinations in Myanmar, including Yangon, Bagan, Inle Lake, Mandalay, Kalaw and Ngapali are as safe as you travel in any developed country. And the truth is that conflict zones including Kachin and Shan States in eastern and northern Myanmar, and Rakhine State in western Myanmar are closed to tourists and far away from the main scenic areas.

What you should pay much attention to is physical health when you travel to Myanmar. For most tourists, hygiene in Myanmar is terrible. Therefore, we advise you to drink bottled water always and avoid tasting street food as much as possible. To dining, you'd better go to the busy and clean restaurants, with food completely cooked and relatively good standards of hygiene.

In Myanmar, you can first expect fabulous Buddhist architecture. Shwedagon Pagoda, also known as Golden Pagoda, is the top attraction in Yangon, with a height up to 112m, dominating the Yangon skyline.

Another cultural treasure of Myanmar known as Kyaiktiyo Pagoda sits on the top of a granite boulder in Mon State. It is covered with golden leaves, hence also famous as the Golden Rock.

As an important historic city of Myanmar, Bagan is home to hundreds of marvelous temples and pagodas. It is believed to be the “Angkor Wat” in Myanmar without many crowds. You can explore the region by a hot-air balloon with a bird’s eye view, or take a bike or cart to have a close view of the temples. Except for Buddhist temples, Myanmar also has high mountains, beautiful waters, and tropical beaches to offer. Mount Popa is Myanmar’s spiritual center topped by gold stupas. Picturesque Inle Lake is dotted with floating fishing villages. To relax in Myanmar, you can go to Ngapali, where white sands and quiet beaches can be found.

The high tourist season in Myanmar is from November to February when the temperature is pleasant and rainfall is low. Sunny weather makes the golden temples shimmering and beaches comfortable. Besides, the cool weather is perfect for taking a ferry to appreciate the stunning Inle Lake. However, the overall travel costs are at their highest.

If you prefer fewer visitors and lower prices, the early Monsoon Season from March to May is a good alternative to visit Myanmar. In these months, temperatures are on the rise, while rainfalls are still comparatively low.

Myanmar is one of the best places in the world to experience a hot air balloon. And the best time for Bagan hot air balloon is from October until the middle of April. If you travel to Myanmar in November, don’t miss the annual Fire Balloon Festival. Balloons filled with fireworks and explosives are the stars of the show, with charges going off while the balloon ascends.
