Hi David
Thank you for the itinerary which we have now looked at.

It looks good but maybe a bit too much moving around. Can we not go to Mandalay and have an extra day or two in Bagan or Inle?

We are interested in staying maybe at more upmarket hotels – realising this will be more expensive but we  our preference would be for interesting  boutique type hotels not state run.
Thank you
Look forward to hearing from you

Thank you for your email. Pl let me know if the following itinerary is OK. If you don't want to stay overnight in Mount Popa (which is a tranquil wooded experience), then, you get one more day in Inle Lake to trek in Kalaw to the hills and villages. Pl discuss and let me know the final itinerary. Best wishes.
